Hello. I know your video here is over a year old but I just found it. I have been looking for an alternative for Gallery Glass and want to try the Elmer's glue method you do here. My question is can this technique be used on a window or glass that is upright in a door instead of laying flat on a table? I have paned doors I want to do this on but cannot take the door off to lay flat and will be painting this on in an upright position. Does the fact that its glue your using make the product pool at the bottom on your panes or lead? I hope this makes sense.
This process would be difficult on an upright surface. You may want to try it in a small area using thin layers..then building on your layers as they dry. As you know glue us liquid so you will have pooling toward the bottom, however you could work that into your shading or texture of the design.
I have tried food coloring and it has the same effect as alcohol inks.. the only downside is that, although food coloring is cheaper, alcohol inks have more color variety. Both are see through and beautiful, though.
I have searched for your comment on the portions of black acrylic paint and Elmers glue all but can’t find it anywhere. Sorry if I missed it. If you have time, could you give the portions. Like what part glue to what part paint? (I do understand to mix clear Elmer’s glue to the alcohol paint, to my liking). Thank you so much. I am officially inspired!
The portions will vary based on the type of acrylic paint you use. (Soft, medium body paint, etc.) The important thing is the ability to flow and control the flow out of whatever you are using to squirt the mixture onto the glass.
Sun or heat never makes it run, however if the glass is not completely clean before starting, you may see some peeling. Sun may make some fading especially with alcohol based inks. I use dye based inks and I've had some pieces that have stayed intact for years with minimal to no fading.
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 yes, you did say that in the video. I was just wondering if there were any alternative products. Thank you for answering so quickly. I truly appreciate it. I do a lot of different crafts and I have always loved stained glass. I just didn’t want to use lead so when I saw this, I was excited to watch your method. So I will be trying it.
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 okay thank you. I will use the products you suggest. I just had others on hand. Better to be safe than sorry....thank you.
Direct sunlight may impact some inks. I have had some pieces that are in a south facing window that have not faded after many years. I also have a video about restoring these pieces. At this price its worth it.
If perspex is like acrylic..yes. I have done this technique on plastic, laminating film, and plexiglass. The key for a good grip is to start with a clean surface
Do you have any issues with the glue pulling in on itself? I use the clear Elmer’s glue (class room kind) and I do. Do you spray clear acrylic sealer on it first? Thanks for help.
I never use school glue. It is not the same formula even though it looks the same as the GlueAll. I do not seal. In fact if the glass is completely clean there should be no pulling away from the glass unless it gets very wet . Before starting I use alcohol to clean the glass after window cleaner to remove anti fog/ streak chemicals.
I did this but as the glue dried it pulled off from the plexiglass. It shrunk a bit too. Pulling away from the lead lines. In some places pulling the lead lines off the plexiglass. What am I doing wrongd?
Some will some won't. I haven't found the magic to let me know which ones. Reds sometimes fade. Sometimes not. I have pieces that are intact after years of display. I see more fading in my east facing windows for some reason.
Gorgeous! Love this project.
BEAUTIFUL
Thank you for sharing this video.
So beautiful and inspiring
Thank you.
Oooh. You're channeling my brain 😆 was thinking of trying this again. We just use some Dollar tree frames to start
Love your work! Is there a reason that the coloring part is done with clear instead of white glue? Is it so the colors can be determined easier?
Yes. The glue all stays textured longer as it dries. Also, I can see the desired color as I'm painting it on without waiting for it to dry.
So school glue will work fine?? Mixing that with the black. I have both I was just wondering if one works better than the other.🌻🌻🌻
No... use glue all. It sticks better than the school glue.
Beautiful you are very clever well done, just wondering will it stand up to extreme heat my farm is in outback Australia, love from Australia oxox
I think if you clean the glass well with alcohol after window cleaner...it will have the best chance for sticking over a longer period of time.

My new fave channel,thanks.
Glad you enjoy it!
Love your art! My question is, can I use your method and type of products on plexiglass as well as on glass.
@@skwomack378 yes you can. I have even used this method on used laminating film.
Wow....amazing your idea about art Glass
I like that ...
It's beautiful! 😊
Thank you! It is still hanging in my family room.
will this work with acrylic inks? complete art newbie
I am not sure if acrylic inks are the same chemistry. I know that dye based inks plus the glue are translucent when drying.
I have tried food coloring and it has the same effect as alcohol inks.. the only downside is that, although food coloring is cheaper, alcohol inks have more color variety. Both are see through and beautiful, though.
Yes. Also, food coloring fades quickly.
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 Thanks for saying that food coloring faded quickly, I was ready to start using them.
This looks like fun, but How do you clean these surfaces. Thank you
I really only use a feather duster on the painted side and use glass cleaner on the bare glass side.
Do you think this would work on plexiglass? I'm really enjoying your videos. Thank you for sharing your talent. Xxxx Grambo
Yes it will work. Make sure the plexiglass is clean so it will stick.
Plexiglass not crack.... that's good material and fleksble

I hope that you are still checking comments… Does sun/heat effect or melt the glue, making it run?
Sun or heat never makes it run, however if the glass is not completely clean before starting, you may see some peeling. Sun may make some fading especially with alcohol based inks. I use dye based inks and I've had some pieces that have stayed intact for years with minimal to no fading.
Wow beautiful
Thank you
Could I use clear Elmer’s glue to mix with black and white acrylic paint for the outline? Or can I use white tacky glue?
Hi Valerie. I am using Elmers glue all with black acrylic paint in this video. I sure hope I said that. I better rewatch this and check.
I have not used clear as the outline mix. The glue all adheres better to the glass.
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 yes, you did say that in the video. I was just wondering if there were any alternative products. Thank you for answering so quickly. I truly appreciate it.

Lovely thank you for your time and willingness to share. Do the alcohol inks fade in sunlight over time?
Direct sunlight may impact some inks. I have had some pieces that are in a south facing window that have not faded after many years. I also have a video about restoring these pieces. At this price its worth it.
Love your channel making some for Christmas 🎁.
WOW AWESOME 😍 Love how it came out keep it up !
Can I paint using your technique on perspex sheet instead of glass? Thank you so much for sharing wirh us. Much of love from UK
If perspex is like acrylic..yes. I have done this technique on plastic, laminating film, and plexiglass. The key for a good grip is to start with a clean surface
molto bello brava....come si chiama quel prodotto che hai usato per fare i bordi
The black is made with black acrylic paint and Elmer's Glue All.
Do you have any issues with the glue pulling in on itself? I use the clear Elmer’s glue (class room kind) and I do. Do you spray clear acrylic sealer on it first? Thanks for help.
I never use school glue. It is not the same formula even though it looks the same as the GlueAll. I do not seal. In fact if the glass is completely clean there should be no pulling away from the glass unless it gets very wet . Before starting I use alcohol to clean the glass after window cleaner to remove anti fog/ streak chemicals.
Great! Thanks so much. Can’t wait to re-try this.
@@nicolejones9638 The clear glue should stick well if the glass is totally clean.... even if it was school grade. I have never had problems with it.
I did this but as the glue dried it pulled off from the plexiglass. It shrunk a bit too. Pulling away from the lead lines. In some places pulling the lead lines off the plexiglass. What am I doing wrongd?
You must start wirh a completely clean surface. I usually clean with a window cleaner then 99% alcohol.
Awesome and thank you for sharing!!
Have you done more than these windows?? It looks great!!
I'm waiting for fall and then... I have a plan for fall colors.
I have other videos that show a variety of projects, windows, wall hangings, valentines, and even a glass breakfast tray....all using this technique.
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 I'm so excited to see more! You are an amazing lady and an amazing artist!!
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 I am going to watch them all!!!! XXOO
For this tube u have used what was the promotion of glue and paint. Just for guidance please. Thank you
I am using glue and ink. Paint will not achieve a clear finished piece. Only use black or grey paint for the outlines.
@@artempouriumarteveryonecan6703 o
yes , I meant ink. I bought ink. Is ratio 80%glue and 20%ink OK?
@@truthseeker8788 the ratio changes based on the desired deepness of color.
How long does it take to dry?
I would give it 12 hours.... it is not moving around after an hour...but is still sticky.
What do you mix up your inks with...?? Amd what is the mixture ratio of black acrylic/glue ? Thankyour so much for your videos
The ingredients and mixtures are explained in the video. The number of ink drops will depend on the deepness if color you desire to achieve.
What kind or type of paints are you using?
Hi!...these are covered in both the video and the video descriptive notes. You can just copy and paste from there to save for later if you would like.
This is your second video I've watched today (2/1/2021), You now have a new subscriber, so glad a found your channel!
So glad you did! I hope you get a chance to try this.
Does anyone know how removable this is? Will it peel from heat?
I have a video that tells you how to remove the pattern on my channel.
Beautiful! Is the white pearl also an alcohol ink?
I believe this is a dyebased ink
Sharon, I mix drops of dye or alcohol inks and mix till I get the desired color. More ir less ink per desired affect.
Where do you find patterns?
I just make them up. You can place a stencil or other picture under the glass and copy if you would like.
Why do you have to use clear glue, white glue dries clear.
You will find white isn't pure clear when it dries on glass. It us kind of cloudy as the sun shines through .
Have you tried acrylic inks or calligraphy inks? I was wondering because I believe, not certain, that they are more lightfast than alcohol inks.
Calligraphy inks are also dye based i ks. They work well too. I use stamper or dye based inks a great deal in my projects.
❤🎉👍👍👍👍🌹🌻🌻🌻🌻
Great art! New subscriber here.
Thanks for joining us!
Very artistic....inspiratf
FYI .Alcohol inks will fade in the uv light over time. I found out the hard way.
Some will some won't. I haven't found the magic to let me know which ones. Reds sometimes fade. Sometimes not. I have pieces that are intact after years of display. I see more fading in my east facing windows for some reason.
@sue…..what type paints do you use since alcohol inks may fade,I am new to this thanks
