Discover how easy it is to make a faux stained glass masterpiece

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/diy-stained-glass-craft • Posted by Heather M.

This is a super fun and satisfying craft project. It looks like stained glass, but it's not made the traditional way. It's actually way easier Using a faux leading 3-dimensional puffy paint-like product, you can create your design onto glass. Fill the shapes you create with alcohol ink which is translucent. Add some mod podge to get that beveled look and no one will know it's not real! This project is not for kids since your working with a piece of glass (from a dollar store frame).
