As we’ve seen before, you can etch a design in a window using a stencil and etching cream, but did you know that there are also spray paints available to create a frosted glass finish? Krylon and Rustoleum each make one. For this post, I’ve gathered together some great blog finds which demonstrate use of these products on glass doors, windows, and mirrors.
Fine Diving: Stenciled Cupboard
Diana, of Fine Diving, gave this small cupboard a big makeover, inside and out. She used Krylon Frosted Glass Finish and masks to reverse stencil a leaf pattern onto its mirrored front.
Three Birds Life: Faux Frosted Glass
Carolyn, of Three Birds Life, used Rustoleum’s Frosted Glass spray and a reverse stenciling technique to hide away items stored in her bathroom cupboard.
The Purple Pea: Frosted Doily Table
Kristina, of The Purple Pea, stenciled this adorable side table using frosted glass spray and a doily as a stencil. This project would have been a great addition to our Stenciling with Doilies series, if only I’d found it sooner!
Frosted Glass Entertainment Center
This entertainment center, from Breaking Down the Big, Beige Box, now tastefully hides a collection of DVDs and other items behind its stenciled glass doors.
Crafty Nest: Faux Frosted Glass
Monica, of Crafty Nest, used contact paper and frosted glass spray to stencil the glass doors of this cupboard.
Recaptured Charm: Coffee Window
Lisa, from Recaptured Charm. used reverse stenciling (or masks), to create this charming Coffee window.
Paper & Stitch: Etched Mirror Hack
This tutorial from Brittni of Paper & Stitch, shows you how to make an etched-look mirror in minutes using a paper doily and frosted glass spray.
Julie, I have enjoyed this frosted glass series. I never knew you could get such great results using a spray! I am wondering if one particular brand is favored over the other, Krylon vs. Rustoleum. Anyone have any thoughts on this? I have a few glass projects in my own home that I want to experiment on. Is this spray removable or permanent? I will follow through the links given for more info, but if anyone has additional info about this process, please chime in here! :-)
