6 Ways to Repurpose Old Windows

[@dianetortora6095]

This video is absolutely wonderful. I just took five windows out and replace them with new ones. I wanted to do posters on the backside of the glass so it would be facing forward. It looks like you used decoupage although I don’t know if it would be different because this is poster paper. Anyway, I am appreciative of your knowledge.

[@mariamaria-oi2cs]

, fantastic....love it. I have a question if I hand paint over it can I resin over the paint?

[@theturnedleg]

I don't see why not.

[@KMF3]

Yes you can pour resin Over Paint but it does need to be dry

I saw someone used an old easel in their garden and attached the window frame to it then hung a wreath in center it looked very nice.

[@theturnedleg]

Great idea. Thanks for sharing!

[@dianaallen1398]

The window that you had in your garden? What about getting a taller mailbox post type thing kind of an antique style and hanging the when do from there maybe putting some plans and rocks around it

[@ChristineRhodes-d9z]

Cool idea!

[@theturnedleg]

Thanks!

[@deborahthompson5041]

Great video and ideas. Like all of them. Thank-you

Such a cute idea for the 6 paned window...I definitely want to do something like this, if only because each of those techniques is just FUN to do! Also, do you mind if I ask where you pick up those great bottles you keep your paint in? I think I need some!

[@theturnedleg]

The bottles are called FIFO (first in first out) bottles. I sell them on my website at shoptheturnedleg.com/products/first-in-first-out-fifo-bottle?_pos=1&_sid=c6ff3f7ae&_ss=r

@@theturnedleg thank you...on my way to see what kind of trouble I can get into today! 😉

[@zonyasvintage7859]

That was an incredible video.. Filled with ideas and possibilities.. would love to visit the store one day (however I live in Florida) ! On the white stencil on glass; how can it be sealed so that it doesn’t come off when cleaning it? Thanks a bunch!!

[@theturnedleg]

You are too sweet. Would love you to visit, if you are in town. You cannot seal the window. But I like to stencil windows to change things up and decorate for the season..just clean it off with window cleaner…

[@jodyshafer4953]

Love your great ideas! Does the kilz klear have an strong odor?

[@theturnedleg]

I used it outdoors..but I don’t think it does.

[@amymitchell7715]

Hang the window from the tree! Everything turned out so good!! 😍

[@theturnedleg]

I have thought about it. The branches are not very strong...but it might work. Great suggestion. Thank you!

[@Cindy-ng6sx]

Can you use the liquid patina over the transfers on the windows?

[@theturnedleg]

If you did the clear glass could become cloudy.

[@Cindy-ng6sx]

@@theturnedleg how about if youput the transfer on then painted all around the transfer then clear coat?

[@theturnedleg]

@@Cindy-ng6sx That could work. I have never tried it.

[@KMF3]

​@@Cindy-ng6sx you could pour a thin coat of resin over it

[@jeannehansen4323]

If you paint the window on the back side (DIY paint, of course), you can use colored chalk markers on the front of the glass for a perfect message board.

[@theturnedleg]

Great tip. Thank you. I never thought of that.

[@Puglifemama101]

Do you have a video on how to hang them because I know they’re super large and heavy.. I was just wondering if you use some kind of gorilla glue and how big the hardware should be?

[@theturnedleg]

I use French cleats. Same thing I use for my corbel shelf video. They work great and are easy to install.

[@KMF3]

I use I hook and chain

[@RusticrehabsJen]

Cute video and great tips! You could use a couple shepherd hooks to ha g your window by the corners 😀

[@theturnedleg]

Thanks, Jen. Great idea.

[@kathleenmay6711]

Question are you ever concerned about lead paint from old windows? I have quite a stash of them and couldn't decide what to do because of that. Do you seal the transfers on the windows? Also do you put a care for tag on them for your customers? Thanks for all of the ideas❤️

[@theturnedleg]

I use a lead test kit. You can get them at the hardware. No seal on transfers. Yes, I include a care tag on my windows for customers. You are welcome!

[@grandaygain]

You could maybe try one or two of the metal election campaign inground frames.

[@theturnedleg]

Great idea.
