Literally thought of and knocked together, and administered, in one flurried night of creative zealwhich, um, may or may not have been fueled by a bit of mind expanding recreational activity...
But damned simple to do, so do some of yer own, it's fun and looks way cool, inside and out!
Be wary that one side of printable acetate is a bit sensitive to touch and moisture, so make sure that side (the printed side) is against the glass on the inside and well sealed in so that condensation does not penetrate. And clean your windows well beforehand!
Dunno how long it lasts before sunlight fade sets in tho...
*edit* only prob now is the lower plain ones that I did a week ago don't match now, so considering doing something similar for them...

I am!DIY talking at least, having recently accomplished purchasing a ladder, I've been on roofs, applying flashing, re surfacing with bitumen, painting window frames and stonework, damp proofing walls, fixing up the main door, you name it mate!
This house is at least a century old, and it's feeling it.
Got the cellar to take care of next, and parts of that are moving! Wish me luck, I'm going in!

Nothing about this cellar is drynor ever will be, and there's no simple treatment for it since they banned lime.
Found something called 'cellar paint', imaginatively enough, that's meant to minimise moisture whilst still allowing some to penetrate and keeping the wall in one piece (you can't just seal it or it just collects behind the paint and bubbles, eventually falling off) which is about all I can find to even try.

Ah yes, praise be for filler!Wood filler, wall filler, even flat roof filler (looks like black blu-tack) for the bigger holes. If they invented filler dissolver, this house would immediately collapse in a heap, I swear!
