Actually Teresa, we like to use glazing points with a tool just like this one (http://amzn.to/2nzZz2A). It is made for picture frames and works well with window frames too. Good luck!

Then attach with small nails. My windows are old and historical. I’m glazing them so the wood that’s cracking will not pop off. I’m afraid to use nails. What else can I use?

I really like the British Isles piece you did, very nice. I just replaced ten 1940’s double hung windows and I love the idea of turning them into pieces as art. Thanks for the tips.

That’s great news Rhonda! It’s also a great way to preserve a memory. Good luck! And thanks for stopping by!

thanks for the foam core tip. I live in my grandparents old home and was very reluctant to replace the windows several years ago. But age, and some pretense of common sense led me to finally cave in. I have wanted to do something special with some of the original windows, besides have them sitting in our barn. I had recently decided to put maps in them, but the foam core makes me feel so much better about actually doing it. It will allow me to showcase them, without committing to the look as a “forever” project.
I have just discovered your blog, and will be checking back for more good ideas.

thanks,
another midwesterner

Oh thank you Florence… Foam core is like poster board but a little thicker. You can find it in any craft store or places like Walmart.

I’m thinking of trying one, but what is “foam core”? Thanks for the inspiration!

Trial and error… Sometimes you have to be willing to make a few cuts too. We buy lots and then try a few to find the right fit.

I have been picking up old atlas’s at estate sales but many of them have copyright on the pages, so not sure I can copy the pages even if the company isn’t around any more.
