Make your own Faux Stained Glass using only glue and Acrylic Paint! Imagine the beautiful results you can achieve with very little outlay, unlike real stained glass which is extremely expensive.

You can even use glass panels and windows in your own home. This would be ideal for side lights in entry halls, bathroom windows and also when you need to hide off walls and fences.

Stained Glass allows sunlight but can obscure the unsightly. It’s the perfect compromise really with unlimited uses and potential.

What you need to make Faux Stained Glass

• Acrylic Paint
• 1 bottle of White Glue and 1 of Clear Glue
• An 8 x 10 Photo Frame (or a large sheet of glass can be used)
• Craft Blade
• Black Sharpie Pen
• Super Glue
• Clear Acrylic Spray Sealant

To start making your own Faux Stained Glass, simply find a template of something you love, maybe start with a really easy project first, something like a butterfly for example.

Suzy says this project is child-friendly. You could get the kids to help, and even use a page from a Coloring Book for a template.
