I have made things out of cardboard and foam board for years, countless back drops for school plays and local theater.... what did I never think to do this in my home???? I have a mirror that I’ve wanted to do something with and this would be a perfect inexpensive frame for it. I love your ideas!😉👍🏼
I made 3.. Currently in the process of painting. Wanted a white washed look but I'm not that skilled yet so dark it'll be. I love your channel. My favorite DIYER!
I like the idea of wrapping it in painters tape ....you could them add caulk or joint compound or spackling all over it to give it more texture and depth and them do the paint treatment over it.....
I have been wanting a window for above my fireplace. Every time I go see them they are so expensive! I really want to thank you for this DIY. I am very inspired and will be stopping by dollar tree for some foam boards💖
Absolutely gorgeous and so creative! I was thinking when you were cutting out the larger windows and you had the flap opened but still attached (if I make any sense at all lol) it reminded me of an open shutter. I think that would look cool too. Would love to see more of these in different styles and finishes. Beautiful work as always! Tyfs!
I’ve always thought that foam board is amazing for diys, but I never imagined something like these. You’re an amazing crafter.Thanks for inspired to all of us! 😊
I am blown away with this tutorial! I have always wanted something similar. Who would have thought to use foam board, you 😁 I am inspired. You made it look super easy. Thanks for the tutorial. New subscriber, Kim🍁
Domer Home While watching the cutting, I was wondering if maybe a rotary cutter would be easier--you know the little cutters that look like pizza cutters? I use one all the time to cut craft vinyl for my Cricut machine. It's super sharp!
New subby here, your ideas are spot on. I have been looking for a light weight window to decorate for awhile. Thanks for posting. I am looking forward to watching your playlist.
What a clever idea....Dang girl where in the world do you come up with all these awesome ideas? lol! My sister was looking at cathedral windows at Kirklands and they are so super expensive. Yes, made from wood...or plastic to look like wood but still! And, if you wanted this a bit thicker...you could use two pieces of foam board glued together and cut out! Ideas!!!! :-) You're awesome!
This is so cool I love it. I have been looking at the Cathedral windows and they are too expensive 😪 but now I might can make my own.( I can't draw 🙈😂) but I will try. Thanks for this Amazing DIY❤❤
Hi Shannon, I have an older home with very high ceilings. I'm looking to do something to spruce up my bedroom like tongue and groove, barn boards, but it's very expensive. Any ideas. I'd like a feature wall. Thanks, Sylvia
Hi! I am pretty new to your channel and I don't think I have ever commented allot or at all. But I love this.!!❤❤ and its something I can do! I have a couple questions I hope you can answer...if I wanted the smoother look on the sides you side you can put painters tape on the side, will the edges of the tape show through the paint? Also when you sprayed the matte finish did you have to wait another 12 hours to spray it after you had put on the second coat of gel stain? Also can I get another stain from Wal-Mart (a cheaper brand) ? sorry so many questions I just love this and want to make one so bad!!! Thank you!! Can you do more foam board stuff in the future???😍😍❤❤
Oh! WIsh you'dl comment more! Love connecting with everyone! To answer your questions 1) Put the tape on top and fold over the edges so you don't see a line (use wide tape to be able to do this) 2) The spray matte finish drys super fast. No need to wait that long in between coats. Maybe 15-20 minutes, depending on the temp and humidity in your area. Just make sure it's dry all the way before applying a 2nd coat. You can check Walmart - and brand is fine, just make sure it's a "GEL" stain. You don't want an oil based stain or a water based stain. I hope that helps! Happy Crafting!
Such a great video, love how the window turned out. Where did you get the foam board at? It seemed like it was longer than what the dollar tree carries. I love it a lot and would like to make one out of wood.
I had to make mine a lot smaller for my not even 1000 sq ft house (and wider instead of going up lol), but I have a question. How do you attach your little wreath to it? I hope I didn't make mine TOO small so a nice wreath won't over power it.
Wow! This turned out absolutely amazing! When I first saw it, I had no idea it was foam board. Great job! My son is hooked on your channel and loves watching your new vids, with me, ea wk and we’ve been catching up on old ones. Just curious, my hubs is from Festus, MO. R u close to there? Take care! ❤️
The Daily DIYer my 9 yr old son thinks that’s pretty cool that you’re near Festus and not far from us. We live near Shelbyville, Il. (If you’ve ever heard of it) do u just have the one shop in st Charles? Our next visit to MO I’d love to visit your shops. 😊
Great job! I love it....but I have a question. Once you sand off the rough edges, do you think it's possible to do a resin pour in the open spaces? If I used clear packing tape as backing to the window that would stop the resin from seeping out. Then I would just peel it off once the resin has cured. Of course I would also tint the resin too and maybe embed some pictures in the resin. This gives me a few ideas to experiment with. What do you think?
Dolly Ad I’m wondering if using window glazing would work - apply it after the stain is all dry and leave it white- or do it before and stain it along with the foam board.
It's the base coat that shows through just a tad. You don't want white showing through in light spots when you are wiping. It makes it look more "real" with the faux wood technique
The Daily DIYer thank you! I looked at those and walmart and you have to order it from all. Soooooooo, I'm just gonna check prices and order that way!! Lol love your door and the window.
You are an amazing video maker and I love all of your great DIYers. Thank you for all you do for us. Donna

LOOOOVEEEE that idea! So creative! Sounds like you are well skilled to do it too. Too cool!
I made 3.. Currently in the process of painting. Wanted a white washed look but I'm not that skilled yet so dark it'll be. I love your channel. My favorite DIYER!
Aw thank you!
Maybe using two layers of foam board would give it more depth but love love love this!!
I like the idea of wrapping it in painters tape ....you could them add caulk or joint compound or spackling all over it to give it more texture and depth and them do the paint treatment over it.....

Love foam board! And it's so light weight! I wish I was better at cutting curves with it. 😁 Looks like a real window!
Yes, I wish my knife was sharper - would have been so much easier!

Rock Alley Yes! I have one for cutting fabric too. I wonder how it would do with curves! Great idea.

The Daily DIYer Thank you so much for commenting back to me and answering my questions! I can't wait to get started!!🙏
Great job...
Please share your suggestions on adding mirror to it
Wow! Awesome! Would love to do this. Drawing the template though...ugh!
Such a great video, love how the window turned out. Where did you get the foam board at? It seemed like it was longer than what the dollar tree carries. I love it a lot and would like to make one out of wood.
amazing I love it
Awesome! Love it!!
How did you get your foamboard not to warp, being as you painted the one side only?
This is very cool I wish I could free draw so I could do this
What kind of plant is that
I had to make mine a lot smaller for my not even 1000 sq ft house (and wider instead of going up lol), but I have a question. How do you attach your little wreath to it? I hope I didn't make mine TOO small so a nice wreath won't over power it.
Girl, ur r GOOD!!!
Aw! Thanks! I try my best
So cute
👍🏻 good idea!!
You rock... amazing diy!!! thanks :D
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Love it
*How freakin AMAZING is this??! (Lemme guess.. Pinterest?😁)*
Did you make those white Candle Holders? I tried looking for a video but haven't come across one.
Love it 😍

Hannah Crumley looks like "someone" (probably US) needs to do some experimenting....LOL.
I say go for it! Wouldn't hurt to try!
That turn out grest
I don't see the link to your Door DIY transformation 😭
You are awsome
Why did you prime it with yellow ?
It's the base coat that shows through just a tad. You don't want white showing through in light spots when you are wiping. It makes it look more "real" with the faux wood technique
Where did you get your gel stain?
I had to order it from Amazon. Check to see if a local hardware store might have it in your area though :)
The Daily DIYer thank you! I looked at those and walmart and you have to order it from all. Soooooooo, I'm just gonna check prices and order that way!! Lol love your door and the window.
I absolutely love this. Thank you for sharing vickey_cook from Ky
