Faux Stained Glass Window Art

Did you know that stained glass is said to be one of the biggest crafting trends of 2020? Domino magazine, Martha Stewart and the head of Etsy are all talking about it, and we are on-board! While the idea of working in this method might seem a little scary (sharp edges and hot tools involved), there is no need to fear! We’ve found a way to recreate DIY stained glass in a faux, modern way that will help you avoid any burns or cuts!

DIY Stained Glass Window Art Tutorial: Darice | Blog 4Faux DIY stained glass supplies:

  • Darice 4-Pane Chicken Wire Window Panel, 16 X 20 Inches
  • Gallery Glass Paint in Various Colors
  • Gallery Glass Simulated Leading Strips
  • Darice Wire Cutters
  • 16 x 20 Sheet of Glass or Plexiglass
  • Hot Glue Gun and Sticks

Step 1: Using wire cutters, carefully remove the wire from the window frame. Pop off the staples that attach the wire to the frame.

Step 2: Glue the glass to the back of the window frame using hot glue. Let dry completely.

Step 3: Peel apart the leading strips and begin placing them on the glass sheet in your desired design (these strips are sticky on the back and are as easy as stickers to apply). Be sure that the leading strips connect completely anywhere that you are planning to be placing the paint to avoid it leaking out of the sides.

Step 4: Squeeze a generous amount of Gallery Glass paint in the leading strip section of your choice. Use the tip of the paint bottle to move the paint around until the section is coated evenly and the paint touches the edges of the leading strips. Repeat with all colors and place glass on an even surface to dry. Let dry completely. You will know that the paint is dry once it is no longer wet and is relatively transparent.

I love working with Gallery Glass because once it is completely dry it can be easily peeled off of its surface. That means that if you want to do this method on your actual window you can with no worries about it being permanent.
