Shauna then cuts the film roughly to the size of her window leaving some excess material and sticks it to the tape working from top to bottom.
The DIY mum added you should pull the film as tightly as possible and go over it with a hair dryer to heat the film and remove any wrinkles.
"Once finished, the film is going to be completely see-through and it acts as a secondary glazing to insulate your windows," she added.
The video has since gone viral with over a million views and people quickly took to the comments to share their thoughts.
One wrote: "I use these every year. definitely keeps some of the draught out. easy to use as well."
