Faux Stained Glass

Step 6 Let paint dry

Voila, stained glass Charr head!

This picture has only a single layer of glass paint. It looks okay, but for better colors and less paint brush streaks do several layers of paint.

I absolutely love it. I started doing projects with my daughter using this idea, she is always testing my copying skills and soon she will be doing these for herself. Well Done!!

If you search 'black hot glue', you'll find places like Direct Depot that saell it for about $10-15 for 10 sticks or so. Great instructable! Most 'paint stain glass' instructions make you buy 'liquid lead' or something similar for the lines- I like the hot glue option!

Very cool. This gives me some ideas for some doors to my wall-length media cabinet / bookcase. You said the black glue sticks are like $50 online for 5lbs. About how much glue do you think you used on this one project? I'm curious how cost-efficient buying a 5lb. supply is if making several of these.

I went through about seven glue sticks for this project, which is on a 10x14 panel. You can measure your doors and estimate how many sticks you will need based on how much glue I used. I would guess that the project I posted is fairly dense detail wise. A 5lb box has 235 sticks of glue in it. Happy project making!

This is f***ing FABULOUS! How much would you say it cost you to make this piece?

[goosezilla]

The initial setup probably cost around 60 dollars for all the supplies, but that is enough to make tons of these. Individually it probably cost around 4-5 dollars to make. Less if you can just find some plexiglass! I bought a sheet from home depot.

That is freaking awesome!
