# How to Make Frosted Glass
Ordinary glass can be revamped into frosted glass by applying a permanent spray that creates an opaque finish. Though frosting glass is often intended to create decorative effects throughout the house, the dull glass panes can also offer more privacy, such as when used on a medicine cabinet. Unused jars, plain vases and discount store glasses can be instantly transformed into expensive-looking kitchenware and stylish home accents.
