Look!: Flower Pot Window Film
Applying the films was a cinch: We cut the films to size, filled up a spray bottle with some soapy water, and went to work. A squeegee came in handy for getting out any air bubbles.
We installed the small version of "Pelargon," which is available at Rare Device. If flower pots aren't your thing, there are several other designs to choose from as well, ($28-34).

Since window films are applied with water, does that mean they could not be used well on a bathroom window... because of the steam? Would they stay stuck til you wanted to take them off?

I have a similar film (not nearly as cute) from Lowe's, also applied with water, in my bathroom/laundry room. It's been a year and it's staying on just fine.

It's very, very cool, but I can't help but think that REAL floweboxes would be even better--it seems like a splash of color there could be just what you need!

Nice! New window cling ideas are always welcome. They have so many uses, I love 'em. Great find.

annamaria - the water used in the installation is used to break up the static cling between the smooth surfcaes of the vinyl and the glass. The reason they cling is because of that smoothness - it also helps "float" the film so you can position it easily.
Once that water used in the installation evaporates - it's in there until you want it gone. It takes quite a bit to get those films back off. The times I've removed the no-adhesive films, I've had to take a razor blade to pry a corner loose and even then it takes effort to get it off.
You literally have to pull the film away from the glass *and* apply water to that gap to lossen them.
The tiny amount of water from a steamy shower won't even start to budge it loose - as long as you got the glass perfectly clean when you installed the film and got out all the air bubbles (which is very easy).
