Wow! This is just amazing!! What software do I need to be able to use the template?

[@SeizetheDIY]

Hey Brittany :) thanks so much! I would just make them pdf’s do that that they can be printed anywhere without special software,

[@Aurora-ln4sn]

Honestly gonna make these for my bedroom year round

[@SeizetheDIY]

It would be super cool! I think if you replace the LED window part with mirrors, it would make a cool piece for a bedroom.

[@tinaknutsen]

I love how your window turned out. I have seen a lot of various foam board projects on YT. When I purchased my house the previous owners left a whole bunch of it along with cherry wood paneling, all kinds of tiles and other building materials. I think he must of did home remodeling and construction. He built a super cool treehouse; my grandkids love it. Very well made. I could see doing something like this to the windows. They were moving out of state so they left quite a bit of stuff which some I have already found use for as I love up-cycling. I do wall murals and I like the 3D effects.

[@thehauntonbayhilldrive2376]

Fantastic! Working on a Harry Potter haunt this year and I hope my windows turn out half as good as yours.

@@SeizetheDIY already did, loved the lights you added to it. Also I'm amazed at how easy it is to get bed hardware where you are. 😅😅

[@SeizetheDIY]

@@kriskisilu Awesome! Thank you! I actually didn’t use any bed hardware- I found a new way to use exterior deck and pergola hardware to construct the bed- there was some things I had to invent along the way but it worked really well! Haha The exterior hardware is widely available here, as you said though. Take care :)

[@KvltKommando]

@@SeizetheDIY absolutely

[@mendez1014]

I absolutely love this. How long did it take you to make.

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thanks so much! Designing it was the most time consuming but cutting and building it took a couple standard work days on a weekend. I think it can be simplified down to 2 layers of foam which would be faster but would lose a little depth.

[@glorygloryholeallelujah]

Aw sculpting insulation foam board-now you’re speaking my craft language! 😁 If you do more projects with it in the future, spend about $20 and buy yourself an electric turkey carving knife. Trust me, it’ll make cutting it WAY easier and quicker!☺️👍

@@gavsarafian6170 you should be able to drag/open the pdf’s in illustrator once I put them up. Although, since they’re original work/copyrighted, I’ll probably just ask for a shoutout/mention if they’re used for any blog /vlog work or online portfolios.

Is there a way to get a pdf of the template? Really great build!

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thank you! I decided to sell a wood version of the window in layers on the site instead- it’ll be up soon. You can use that to create an interior decor piece or as a template for additional windows in any substrate like the foam.

[@illora125]

Plans please !

[@SeizetheDIY]

Hello, I probably won't be releasing the pdf plan files as they can be used to create products that I am currently working on producing. I did look into making oversize prints and selling those on my website for the cost of printing, but they're expensive- about $100 which seems to work against economy DIY projects. Any suggestions?

[@kimarmstrong9161]

I just found your video while looking for a way to repurpose leaded glass door inserts. They already have a gothic arch, so I need something easy to shape. This might be exactly what I need, but how do you think the strength of the foam board would hold up to a 1x4.5 leaded glass?? Thanks so much for this beautiful project!

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thanks for watching! Glad it could help you… the foam is strong but idk if it can hold leaded glass. I used to have a workshop by a stained glass artist and his work was VERY heavy. I think I’d probably use the same technique I show in the video but with wood.

[@polkagatos]

DUDE, YOU DID A GOOD TUTORUAL, BUT THE MUSIC IS ZERO

[@SeizetheDIY]

Thanks for stopping by- please use the subtitles. I think music genres will probably always be something that no one completely agrees on and while I respect your POV, an effort to appease more people with mediocrity or palatable vanilla music would suck the soul out of what I'm doing and I'd lose my niche. btw, I checked out your channel- while I really love your guitar work, it's probably not a genre I'd consider for my videos if it's the style that you had in mind for my soundtracks. Regardless, nice work man!
