I was fed up of looking out onto the scuzzy street so transformed my huge windows with a £3.50 buy and they look so good
A PHOTOGRAPHER who was fed up with people being able to see through the window of her studio used a £3.50 buy to lodge some privacy.
Brianne at House Of Boudoir Studios used GLUE to create a frosted effect on her windows.
The specific glue was Elmer’s Glue, which can be purchased for £3.50 from shops such as Wilkinson’s and ASDA.
Taking to Tik Tok, Brianne shared the process of roller-painting the sticky liquid onto her windows.
She said: “Not me seeing on Tik Tok that you can use Elmer’s Glue to create a ‘frosted’ window look.
“And then proceeding to paint my entire windows with said Elmer’s Glue for privacy.
“And then being truly shocked that it actually worked.
“And I only spent $8.”
The finished glass looked iced-over and added a level of privacy to Brianne’s studio.
People jumped into the comments of her video to weigh in on the DIY hack.
One said: “This is legit a good solution and you don’t have to worry about damaging the glass if it needs to be removed.”
Another quipped: “You just saved £150.”
However, other viewers were concerned about the glue melting in the summer or causing a smell in the studio.
One critic commented: “The amount of bugs stuck to those windows would be horrendous.”
A second said: “That’s going to turn yellow and sticky in the sun.”
A blurb on the product reads: “Elmer’s Glue is a type of adhesive designed for use in crafts and other creative projects.
“It is a safe, non-toxic product that is easy to use and can be used on a variety of surfaces.
“Elmer’s Glue is available in several forms, including liquid, gel, and foam.
“The liquid form is ideal for gluing paper, wood, fabric, and other porous materials.
“The gel form is thicker and stronger, and works well for heavier materials like metal, glass, and plastic.”
