Make the cornstarch paste Combine 2 tablespoons cornstarch and 2 tablespoons room temperature water. Add 1 1/2 cups of boiling water to the cornstarch mixture. Stir together until the mixture thickens into a thin paste. Continue stirring as needed to avoid lumps. 3. Apply the paste to the window Use a paintbrush to apply a thin layer of paste on the clean window glass. Cover the entire surface of the glass with paste. 4. Apply the fabric to the window Carefully apply the fabric to the window as soon as the surface is covered with paste. the fabric will stick to the paste and you can adjust the fabric as necessary. You can use painter’s tape to help hold the fabric in place if it starts slipping. Once the fabric is in place, use the paintbrush to apply a thin coat of paste over the fabric. Use a squeegee to press the fabric into place and to remove any air bubbles or excess paste. 5. Allow the paste to dry Allow the paste to dry and enjoy your unique new window treatments!
