Easy Stained Glass

Cindy Piccoli demonstrates how to create a beautiful textured stained-glass look on any ordinary window using glass paints.

Steps:

1. Make sure the glass is completely dry before painting. With a china marker, trace the desired pattern on the piece of glass to be decorated.
2. Place the marked side of the glass face-down, and apply liquid leading to the outline. Point the bottle straight down to get a good line. Use a cloth to wipe off any mistakes made with the water-based liquid. Let the leading dry for 48 hours.
3. When the leading is dry, apply colors to the outlined areas. Shake the paint down to the tip of the bottle, and spread the color on the glass with either a brush or the tip of the applicator. The color will go on opaque but will dry translucent. Add an additional coat of paint for richer color.
4. Use a single-edge razor blade to remove unwanted dried paint or design.
