If you’re not experienced with spray paint, cover as much of the door with tape as you can. You can also cover the door with plastic sheeting and attach it with painter’s tape.
Hold a piece of cardboard next to your door to cover any exposed area not covered by tape.
Don’t apply a second layer immediately after the first—frosting takes a bit of time to take effect.
Measure each door before purchasing your window film. Most films are either 36 or 48 inches (91 or 122 cm) wide—select the most suitable size.
Rub the 2 sides of the window film together to determine the adhesive side. Be careful not to crease the film. One side is slippery when rubbed against itself. The other grabs and doesn’t slip easily. The slippery side is the release liner. If you have a friend with you, have them hold up the film instead.
After screwing the top back on, gently turn the bottle upside down and back repeatedly to mix the soap.
Carefully wipe the window frame with a clean cloth after you’re done squeegeeing.
Continue pulling off the release liner and spray the film as you go. Be sure that the tape stuck to the window is secure before you begin pulling the second piece of tape.
Don’t go all the way to the edge—leave about 1 inch (2. 5 cm) from the edge.
Press down against the frame as you cut the film. Repeat this process for each side of your window.
Snap a photo of the glass doors to use with your sketch as you shop.
Account for curtain type when determining curtain height and rod placement. The common types are hooks, rings, tabs, grommets, or pockets. [16] X Research source
Ask a friend to place a carpenter’s level on top of your rod to make sure it’s even. If you’re on your own, hold the rod steady with one hand and place the carpenter’s level on top with your other.
Adjust the width of the rod as needed if it’s adjustable rod.
