You need:

clear Con-Tact paper (it's not technically clear, but it's sold and labeled as clear)
scissor
poster board or a thick paper for drawing out your pattern



First, decide on your "design".  This can be anything from words, to images to shapes.  Our windows have a leaded glass on top with a square/diamond pattern, so I wanted my bottom windows to be similar.



I measured out my squares so they were close to the same on both windows, but you can do any size you want.

Trace your pattern onto the paper side of the contact paper.  Guesstimate how many "shapes" you will need and trace out that many.  Then cut them out.

For placing them on the window, I started in the middle and worked my way out.  Again, this will vary depending on what kind of design you are doing. 



Then start sticking them on the window.  See how you can see out, but not see out?



These let in all the natural light from outside, but in the places where the contact paper is it provides the privacy.  I can finally keep my curtains open all day long!
