I've seen pictures placed in old windows, but how are they secured from the back that doesn't show? Thank you.

    They sell clear double stick dots at my local Joann Fabrics. I used them, and you can’t see them.

    Tiny strips of clear double-stick tape along the edges will hold the picture in place. 😇

    Clear spray adhesive works too. If the pics are originals, use archival quality or acid free.

    I've used clear adhesive spray as well- can't wait to see your project!

      Thanks...I haven't gotten the window yet, but I'll post it when I get my feature wall done. Putting barn wood up then I thought I'd put a window frame with family pictures that I plan on changing as needed.

    I have successfully used E 6000 clear glue which can be bought at Wal-Mart or craft store for a few dollars. If for permanent fix, then dab a little on the glass and a little on the object......wait about 3 minutes, adhere the two surfaces, but have some kind of tape ( like duct ) ready to support weight until the glue sets strongly...........if you wish to set a removable object on glass, you can set a little plastic hook on the glass, then a wired object can be removed in the future for cleaning.......I've done both, small glass objects on windows and shower doors..........good luck and don't forget the supporting tape.
