She Has A Pretty Cool DIY To Elevate Your Windows Without Spending Hundreds Or Thousands Of Dollars
Replacing your windows might not be at the top of your to-do list since it costs thousands of dollars to accomplish. That’s a lot of money and trouble to go through all for some new panes of glass.
But your windows are becoming more of an eyesore every day, and you can’t keep covering them up with the curtains forever.
If only there were some way to transform your windows anew while staying on budget. Fortunately for you, there is something you can do to elevate your windows! It’s practical, stylish, and cheap, costing you no more than twelve dollars per window.
TikToker Eryn (@everythingeryn) is showing you how to update your boring windows using wood and electrical tape to design a grid-like pattern that looks super modern.
It’s a hack that’s also renter-friendly, so if you’re living in an apartment, you can participate in this DIY project, too! Give your home a whole new look with these trendy black grid-patterned windows.
Before purchasing any materials, you’ll want to measure your windows. Additionally, clean them thoroughly before starting on your project.
Then, grab some cheap wood from your nearest home improvement store. The size of the wood you need depends on the dimensions of your windows.
Also, while you’re there, pick up a roll of electrical tape, black spray paint, and Gorilla tape or a staple gun.
Now that you have all the materials, let’s get into the DIY portion! The first step is to line the border of your windows with the black electrical tape.

Some people like to paint the borders black, but if you’re renting or just don’t want to commit to black paint, tape works just fine.
Next, cut the wood to match your window dimensions. Take one long vertical piece of wood and glue or staple horizontal pieces of wood across it, creating evenly spaced panels.
Place the Gorilla tape at the top and bottom of the grid. Stick the taped borders onto the glass, and you’re done!
Will you be trying out this innovative and inexpensive way to turn bland windows into chic ones?
@everythingeryn So I’m obsessed with this renter friendly window hack?! If you’re an OG follower you probably remember me doing this DIY last May! Well it’s been upgraded and I’m here for it!!?. It was sooo easy to do and only $12 per window! You’ll need: 1” wood from Home Depot (measure your window for dimensions), electric tape (I used this instead of painting my borders black- keeping it renter friendly), gorilla tape or a staple gun, and black spray paint. Step 1. Line the window border with the black tape (if you have a window border). 2. Cut the wood to your window dimensions and staple (or glue) it together at the center of the cross to create a grid. Make sure they are the same distance wise. 3. Place the gorilla tape at the top + bottom of the grid. 4. Stick it on the taped borders & you’re done! #diyproject #homehacks #windowhack #renterfriendly
