And luckily for us, she also shared the project on her blog, so that everyone can learn how to do it. “This was the quickest, easiest, cheapest project ever, but I’m 100 per cent in love with the results,” writes Annabel. Scroll down to see how Annabel transformed her bedroom window…

Here’s Annabel’s bedroom window.

Annabel brushed a layer of “starch jelly” on each window pane. The jelly, which acts as an adhesive, consists of two tablespoons of cornstarch and an equal amount of cold water. Then, Annabel added 3 cups of boiling water to the mixture.

Before she mixed the gel, Annabel cut out a rectangular piece of lace.

She brushed a thick layer of glue on the window and made sure to cover all of the corners and edges.
