I found it easier to just fold it to the required size. (This comes in rolls, so I just cut the general length needed and kept the width as is.) Remember when I said I just used general measurements? It’s because I ended up folding in my edges. I took general measurements, and cut all my paper. Ok, now that we have cut in the grids and frame with precision, it is now time to protect the glass. (Granted if you do mess up a flat blade can easily remove over spray from glass.) Step 3. If your lines aren’t straight it will be highly visible. Alright, so this is the part that you need to take your time! Apply this stuff with precision. The best advice I can give you to use a utility knife to cut in the corners and remove the excess tape.

These windows are unique in the fact that the metal grid was exposed on the outside, AND they were metal frames which made it ideal to paint. Satin Black Spray Paint (Paint and Primer Variety)ĭISCLAIMER: Things to consider BEFORE you paint black window panes.However, as my design plans for this space slowly fell into place I realized this room NEEDED black window frames! (You may have noticed the Kitchen had black frames, which is where I experimented with this technique and we fell in LOVE with it!) So lets get to it! Black Window Panes – Supplies I used:

Originally, we just planned on covering them up with the curtains in hopes of making them less visible. So today I am teaming up with the great folks over at Frogtape to bring you these awesome window updates and show how I painted black window panes!

We did everything as inexpensively as we could, but we were still stretching our budget thin, so there was NO WAY we were going to be able to add new windows to the wish list.
