Old Window: DIY Project

These last few weeks have been extremely exhausting and stressful. I finally spent my Saturday at home trying to relax. I love relaxing but I can't just sit around the house all day doing nothing, I have to be doing something. So I thought, why not spend the day at home doing something I enjoy.
My dad has been working hard all day on replacing all of our windows(Thank you Dad!). As my brother and I helped him carry all of the old windows to the garage, I thought I could use these for something.
Here it goes:

OLD WINDOW:DIY PROJECT

1) I got an old window that we were going to end up throwing away.


2) I put the window over a trash can and got a hammer and some work gloves.


3)I smashed out all of the glass with the hammer.
       -Probably is dangerous and not smart.


4) Don't worry, got some eye protection on.
       -haha. wouldn't have been good if glass flew up in my eye.


5) After smashing out all of the glass, I repainted it white.
     -yes, I put them on cans so I could paint around it easier.


6) I hung it up on my wall and put some things of mine in each pane.

Closer look:

 --In each pane, I put in a picture, letter, object, that meant something to me.
