- Not terrible for a first attempt, I think I'll be trying faux stained glass again sometime in the future since all it takes is acrylic paint and glue…and somewhere to hang it
Let me know if you'd like to see another video like this one!
This is the video I got the idea from:
• How to create faux sta...
First song: Bloom, Kori
• Kori - Bloom
Second song: Someone Else, Waking Dreams
• Waking Dreams - Someon...
I've been in a weird place lately. It's hard to tell if things have actually gotten worse, or if they just feel worse because they're more current, because I'm living it, not just remembering it. It's hard to make someone understand what it's like to feel stagnant and somehow panicked at the same time. The emotional equivalent of being stuck in a tarpit. Seeing the progress and accomplishments of everyone around me. I get to watch their back's they get farther and farther ahead, and I'm so scared it'll always be this way, that I'll always be stuck. If I am always going to be stuck, what's the point? Why am I even here? I get that meaning is something we have to pursue for ourselves, but if that's so, then my stagnation is entirely my own fault. That's terrifying, its probably true, but it still hurts.
I like making things. I want to make people happy, or at least less sad. I like doing this, creating videos (at least I think I do). Despite that, I'm not happy. Hell, I'm not even okay.
All of which is completely unrelated to the video, but given my experience, pretty much no one ever reads the descriptions. So I figure, if there's anywhere I can be unduly confessional, it's here.
Edit:
In regards to COPPA and the FTC,
While I’ve worked hard to make my content accessible and enjoyable to a broad audience, my content is not intended for young children. I regularly use potentially hazardous tools to create art including open flames, heavy gauge wire, sharp pins & sewing needles, razor blades, as well as a sewing machine & serger. These are tools no child should be using unsupervised, and by extension, children should not be watching these videos without supervision. I’m so happy when parents tell me my videos inspired them to create art with their kids. I think arts and crafts are a wonderful way to connect people of all ages, but not all arts and crafts are appropriate for young children, and should not be attempted without attentive supervision and guidance.
My videos are not intended for children. To those that would suggest that anything relating to fantasy, magic, fairies, and angels must be created for children, I’d point out the existence of shows like Carnival Row, Game of Thrones, Lost Girl, True Blood(Spoiler: series contains fairies), Good Omens, Lucifer, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina, and many more, are compelling evidence to the contrary.
Additionally, according to UA-cam analytics less than 5% of my audience falls in the 13-17 age range (the youngest age group UA-cam analytics provides data on) and the vast majority of my audience is over 20.
Also, a little update on me: I have been going through one of the worst periods of depression I’ve experienced in quite some time. I’ve barely been able to get out of bed for the past 3 months. My mental health has all but abandoned me, my physical health is suffering, and I don’t have the means or access to seek professional help. This has contributed to the lack of updates on all of my social media platforms. However, these developments with UA-cam, COPPA, and the FTC, have been less than encouraging and this very well could mean the end of my channel.
To anyone who’s enjoyed watching my videos, thank you. It’s nice to know I’ve brought people a bit of happiness.
Thank you for all of the kind and supportive comments! I hope you continue to find inspiration and happiness through creativity and art
Real lead lines are actually somewhat lumpy and uneven. Liquid metal isn'tall that easy to form in perfectlines.
I actually liked the final picture of it more than I thought I would! When you showed the glitter, and the bubbles and textures, at the end, it was very pretty to me! Real stained glass has imperfections in it too, and that is part of the beauty of it. I think we as artists or craftsmen, are our own worst critics! So many times over the years, I have found a project I completed and shoved in a drawer or closet because I didn't like the way it turned out! Then, when I come across it again, or find it, 6 months or a year later, I look at it and think to myself "What was I thinking??? This is so pretty!!" Sometimes we just get sick of fiddling around with a project, or disgusted because it's not coming out the way we envisioned, and we fail to see that even though it's not what we envisioned, that it is actually beautiful in its own right! !! Give it time--- you may grow to love it!! Also, I appreciated you mentioning that things were not working as expected! Sometimes You Tubers make projects look so easy, and when you try yourself you find its a royal pain in the arse! Nice to be forewarned ahead of time! Ha ha!
All in all, I enjoyed your video!
Makers can be so hard on themselves! but It’s fun to experiment
This is exactly what happens to me! I actually did a collage on canvas a few weeks ago that I thought looked terrible compared to the one the UA-camr created in the tutorial. I shoved it aside until a friend visited and wanted to see it. I was actually impressed by how well it actually turned out. I could have sworn it was switched with a duplicate collage that someone ELSE did when I wasn't looking. Given the fact that I live alone, though, that would have been a little creepy. Lol
Anyway, I've had that happen with paintings I've done and put aside, too. It's interesting that others have had similar experiences.with their art.
I am STRUGGLING with this!! I'll create the idea of something. I'll fall in love with the idea and be so excited to try it. But inevitably, I start to HATE the project and never want to look at it again. I think putting it away in a drawer for a while is not a bad idea sometimes. 🤔
So very same here.
Thanks Debbie for mentioning it here. So many of us feel the same n shared our experiences.
Drawer idea is really good 😄.
But still wondering, why does this happen to us😃
It doesn't deserve a meh. Deserves a Yay!!! Seriously, it's very pretty. Love fairies.
agreed!
I think she did a wonderful job!
I've been wanting to try this for a while now myself. Seeing someone do it without jump cutting ahead gives me more confidence to do it myself so thanks you so much!
I'm new but your videos have cheered me up some, which is a big deal as I've lost one of my beloved pets recently. I hope you feel better soon!
Sorry about your loss :(
I like the way the sparkles turned out! And I like the air bubbles! Like others have said, stained glass does have imperfections! Might actually try this technique! To the dollar store I go! Lol
I wonder what they would have at the dollar store!
Kimo Craft Short answer? EVERYTHING YOU NEED! Lol! I get a lot of my paint and art supplies from there!
With regards to the bubbles, you may be able to pop them if you use a small torch or BBQ lighter. I know that’s how you do it with resin, anyways.
@@Acid_Ink ain't that the truth! haha
You are too modest, you did a beautiful job, and that's coming from someone whose mother used to do faux stained glass for a living, with the expensive stuff from Hobby Lobby.
what do you mean by expensive stuff?
@@drawnbythespirit they probably mean that gallery glass paint or art deco makes a stained glass paint type product to.
Hi, could you tell me if Gallery Glass holds up better than the glue method? (since your mom used it). I've heard ppl say it lasts decades! I'd like to try the gule method bc it's so much cheaper but, I don't want to waste my time on a project if the glue method is super temporary. Thanks.
If it helps... From my experience (one time but... Ehhh whatever) with actual stained glass... It's very hard not to get really lumpy lead lines. So if it's lumpy... That's all the more realistic!
totally agreed - I love the imperfections!
I read your description and I completely get where you're coming from. I feel the same way sometimes too. But it does get better. Eventually. I promise you. I hope you get better soon x
It might work better if you mixed it up in a small shot glass. Then used a funnel to transfer it smoothly to the bottle. I would also spend a couple of minutes gently but firmly tapping the bottle on the table to bring any air bubbles to the top.
If you watch Hercules candy makers they show how it's done with chocolate and such.
Plus they are absolutely hilarious to watch.
@Robin Nice to meet you too. I actually forgot about this video. I wanted to try it out too. So thanks for the reminder.
Nirrrina Jim
pretty good idea! worth a shot
Came out pretty to me! I never knew it was that easy just elmers glue and acrylic paint, wow!
The stuff you use to get at craft stores was not Elmer's glue and acrylic paint.
I might try this since it looks fun & I have everything I think. But why not just use the acrylic/enamal paint Walmart has that is specifically for glass?
good to know!
Your welcome. The price per bottle is like $1.67 or so.
Have you already tried using Walmart paint? Have you tried both types paint? How did you like it?
@@drawnbythespirit I've used the cheaper apple barrel acrylic paint that's 50¢ a bottle & the Waverly chalk paint. But I haven't used the glass enamal paint yet.
I like the apple barrel 50¢ paints pretty good for basic crafts & things. The Waverly chalk paint is great for on glass or tin buckets. I painted useable Halloween Apothecary Jars last year before adding a label.
I did try some of the 87¢ apple barrel general crafting paint that can also go into glass & it worked pretty too.
Amongst the other kids near the craft paint are sun catcher kits & near them is a box of suncatcher paints by itself. It goes with the loose sun catchers. There's several colors for a few dollars.
Theres all kinds of different colors including metallic & glitter paints available. Plus each row has a sign telling you what the paints are good for. From general crafting to glass. Including dishwasher safe ones.
Since they're generally small bottles they don't really cost that much. But good luck trying to find snow White in the small bottle by apple barrel at Walmart. It took me several tries & I had to resort to pulling it off the high upper shelf. 😁
If nothing else it's generally cheap enough just to try some out. Michael's actually carries it for a higher price too. Plus you can always return it if you don't like it. Or shove it into the craft drawer of doom like everyone else.
Isn't there something called "puff" (?) paint for the lead lines? Might be less annoying though more expensive.
4:49 I could understand you just fine, no need to be so hard on yourself
Edit: After watching the full video, and I'm sure it's not my place to say anything as I don't know you personally but I'll say it anyway, it seems that you're very hard on yourself in those little comments throughout the video. It may just be your humor and I'm not getting it, but from an outside perspective it just looks mean. If someone else were editing those comments on your video I'd tell them to lay off! I hope you'll see this and maybe consider it, but if you don't that's fine too I suppose.
Does anyone remember Window colour? I loved making faux stained glass windows with them
Shrinky dinks, not sure why that came to mind when I read your comment, but 2020 can have that effect on ya'😷
A light table would work wonders for you, you can buy glass paint and liquid lead lines. Also working on acrylic plexiglass is a hoot. AMDG
I give it a resounding Yay! It's really beautiful and not just because it flows in the dark.
I love it. The bubbles actually make it look like stained glass.
I read the description. I know it's hard to remember the good days when the bad days happen and some weeks it just feels like the bad days are never ending. Don't let the hard days win. Your work is beautiful and I'm glad I saw this video :)
Thank you so much, January has been pretty rough, I can't tell you how much this means to me
@@ForgottenTrinkets I had to go back on my medication this last month to treat my depression. It got really, really dark for me, too. Keep working, keep smiling, and keep your head up. You are not alone 💕
As someone who reads descriptions, I sincerely hope you are doing okay. The work you do brings so many of us joy, and you deserve so much more in return.
I think it turned out beautifully. Love the opalescent glitter & the glow in the dark!
I think that this was very cool!!! I had never seen or heard of doing a faux stained glass in this way. It is REALLY COOL! You did a great job. I love it. I really love the glitter parts and how the glue makes it look like actual "Old Style Stained Glass". The kind with bubbles in the glass.
Beautiful for a first attempt it certainly is. Don't be discouraged subject well chosen. Regards Paul from London UK
Am I really one of the few that reads it? And knows what you mean? Well... sort of.. just like you now ..sort off... know mine.
I see that it is a older video. It floats around and landed random in my recommendations.
But in my eye's you made something beautiful. But then again, when do I ever find my work the best of the best..
I love your tutorials. They are so pretty and thought out. I most definitivly will try this one out myself. But I also have to say, that your commentary is a little bit concerning. I mean, it is kind of entertaining (and let's be honest, whenever I make something myself I have some thoughts like this). But I think your projects are so beautiful. :)
I really love how this came out! Thank you for sharing! I read the description and feel very much the same these days. I really enjoy your videos and hope to see more! Keep doing what you like to do and don't judge your life or success on those around you. It's more difficult than that, I know, but you seem like a caring and creative person and that is what matters. Good luck💜
Hi. I think you did a great job. Faux stain glass is a science of sorts. Lol
I’ve done faux stain glass projects using black puff paint for the “lead” lines.
I typically use pre-cut plexiglass instead of actual glass and build my own frames from molding or 1”x1/8” vas’s wood (in the molding section one can find that in a “end cap” or stand. I’ve also used duck tape to frame pieces.
He’s what I used to make thin lead lines: a nozzle from an art glitter glue (maymaymadeit.com search art glitter glue as well art glitter glue fine tip)
I hadn’t tried the Elmer’s glue and acrylic paint... Hobby Lobby used to carry stain glass paints.
I’ll be creating faux stained glass pieces for my grandkids’ room instead of curtains.ill film a tutorial.
YES on the puff paint lead lines. I like to use a warm black so it simulates being back lit better if you do have enough real light.
Also both acrylic paint mixed with fluid medium OR solvent paint like nail polish works excellent. And unlike white glue, its waterproof when dry.
I've done real stained glass stuff, but I love how your faux one looks! I may have to give it a try
wonder if puffy paint would give you the lines your looming for🤔🤔🤔bonus it holds in the paint in its section
Would puffy paint even stick to the glass though?
It will moriah elizabeth used puffy paint and it worked
For the lines to be fine, i make a diy cone dispenser using any thick plastic and folding it into a cone and pouring/putting the outline in. Then i seal the content nice and tight and cut a tiny opening at the pointy end of the cone.... This helps you control the thickness of the line... Hope it helps😊😊
Don’t be so hard on yourself, this was great! And if you’re still feeling stagnant, sometimes it’s because we slowly improve and slowly get further, but to our eyes we aren’t actually moving. It’s like watching the sun’s cycle in the sky: the longer we watch it, the more it seems like it’s not moving. But close your eyes or look away for a while, you can tell it’s definitely moved. The small progress makes for a glorious sunset!
Great tutorial. Never thought of using clear glue with the paint. Will give it a try. Thank you for sharing and as regards your "description" . . . . from a great and really old but wise author . . . . James Allen in "As a Man Thinketh . . .
"Man is made or unmade by himself; in the armory of thought he forges the weapons by which he destroys himself; he also fashions the tools with which he builds for himself heavenly mansions of joy and strength and peace.”
Think different thoughts if only one little one at a time. Just a thought. Keep on doing more of what you love.
Eileen Schuller love this!
Pretty good hack, that glue!
1:39 I looked away for a second and thought something happened
You could try using a resin for glittery parts. It would stay thicker and shinier
Wow, that's exactly what I really go through on a daily. Can't even sleep. But art's and craft are myget away the peaceful escape. Keep on doing what you Love
I'm curious to know how long this lasts. Does it wipe off with a wet cloth? I wouldn't want to accidentally ruin it
For my miniature stained glass windows I tried using lead tape but it’s so hard to work with, so I gave in to using liquid lead. I also wanted Vitrail glass paint that those are so expensive so Im using Gallery Glass. I use a toothpick to spread the colors and a small detail paintbrush for the lead lines
Don't bash yourself so much. And your art is beautiful
I think your faux stained glass is lovely, I would like to be able to make one for in front of a window, although I'm afraid the paints will fade from sunlight! Maybe if I attempt this I will find someplace away from a window to hang it
I think you did an awesome job.
I will keep you in my thoughts n prayers that you figure things out and find your purpose, I wish life could be stress free and happy for all of us, all the time... but unfortunately that's just isn't how it works out. You sound like a beautiful person with a lot of God given talent, keep sharing it with the world, you are touching more people than you realize n that's a wonderful thing to do! Please take care and pat yourself on the back, you definitely were put here for a reason... xoxo Marcella K
I love this craft, makes me inspired! Thank you so much for sharing. My daughter will love this, she is deeply fascinated with Fairies. About your description, You aren’t alone, I believe more people than you might think are going through emotional winter right now. Think of it as a cleansing time, a time to transform into something new like a butterfly. Spring will come, try not to fret. I can see just from this one video, you have lots to offer the world. Much love and peace to your heart.
Read your description. You are not alone... many of us the same , appreciate this lovely outlet 🙏🏼🌻👏🏻♥️♥️♥️
Me too. I agree. I often feel the same way. These videos help me a lot to relax and get out of my own head.
leadlight is supposed to be lumpy and awkward, it adds character
My sweets you are not TAKING care of your rainbow. Please get help,I read what YOU said and I just WANTED to give YOU a hug.
Life is not a judgment BUT when YOU CHOOSE to love yourself YOU can find peace.
Those wings are killer! Now I know what to do with this crappy dollar store glitter paint I impulse-bought that ONLY shows up when you hold it up to the light 😁
I did something similar but with plastic clear xmas ornaments and with nail polish for the color. As someone said below, acrylic puff paint makes great lead lines, but honestly from here anyway these look just as good.
Im kind of wary of white glue though, unless the paint makes it waterproof somehow? Acrylic fluid medium - the 2$ Americana craft paint even, ftw.
And I too read descriptions 👍 feeling that way right now tbh. If I ever find the definitive cure, you'll be the 3rd to know, after me and my therapist of course 😥
I read your description. I'm sorry that you feel that way, because I KNOW exactly what you mean. I've been buying all this craft stuff (I want to be creative) and now it's kinda piling up, I don't have the will or the want to even organize it. I want to stop feeling this way. I just want to create, and give or sell my creations and make ppl happy.
I actually have made a real stained glass piece when I was in high school. This looks like more fun and easier! You're turned out great. Cutting glass and sanding it off I found too be difficult and time consuming (which you have to do to get circular shapes).
I used to do this also in the past...In the good old days of actual lead, the lead was also not perfect, the stain glass either...If yours looked too perfect it would look fake...I think its fab......I did mine on thick clear acrylic sheets, not onto glass....it's cheaper, easier to work with and safer (won't break)...it would be awful to do all that work and then have it break ... all that hard work...GONE....that would be awful.... Keep it up because it looks great ....
TÚ lugar es donde seas felíz, se ve que no lo encontrastes. (no tengas miedo y sigue buscando)Luz!! desde Argentina
WARNING:
1:28
Please make sure you tell your viewers that the paper/templet is UNDER the glass...
I know that should be self explained... but some people have never done this.
Well done lots of Patients 💗 I Do Stain Glass and paintings and wood burning and so much more.Its about are spirit in side, it’s a gift see love seek Beauty.I don’t follow I Lead I follow my dreams
You sell yourself short young woman. You have loads of talent and while you may not have liked the black lead effect I think that had you used new materials rather than very old stock it might have been easier for you to work with. The final result is far from Erghh! It's downright stunning. Well done.
Try it with tar gel or string gel. That will make cleaner lead lines. It domes.
For mixing two ingredients together with very different consistencies, put the thicker in a mixing bowl first, and slowly start adding the thinner ingredient.
That's so pretty! Did you add glitter into the paint to give the glass that sparkly cracked look? I have tried this so many times but the part where you wiped everything off and started over...that happened one too many times for me and I threw it out! But you've inspired me to try again. Thank you.
Stuck place hurt like crazy. They are being caught between two important values. Might go to a therapist and get unstuck.
I bet, if you put the glue and paint in a Ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out, you could easily mix it and then cut the corner off to put it back into your reused, squeezable container. Or maybe just leave it in the bag and pipe it on like icing.
I had to question if I wrote that in the description box, as an adult (24) this is something I’ve always felt about myself. The best way for me to deal with it, seems to just keep moving forward. I do crafty things too but I’m really not that great at doing them but I enjoy the hobby none the less. Eventually I feel whatever it is will fade and be filled with contentment, just have to keep moving forward.
As for the stain glass, that’s pretty damn dope. It has character and is one of a kind, enjoy it and learn from it.
We did a faux project for one of our assignments and ever since I've wanted to do another.. except I have none of the materials.
We used plexiglass (we are a theatre tech program so we never use actual glass that'd be a disaster lol), clear gloss finish, and this powder stuff you use to stain wood different colors (along with anything else it touches ;-;). We used cocking for the parts you lined with black (which that itself was a freakin disaster. If you dont seal your lines right everything goes to hell real quick the next class when you pour the liquid in one section and it leaks into the others) then mixed the powder and the gloss to fill the sections.... it was fun but also a pain in the ass. I really wanna try it this way though it turned out really nice!
Way better than MEH. It turned out lovely! I'd love to try it out. What a great use for a picture frame.
Hi I do faux stained glass using liquid leading, I thought this may be a help for you. When you are putting down your black leading lines, start the paint coming out of the tip, but don’t let the tip touch the glass until you are finished, sometimes it will just thin and drop down, but all you do is continue as you did when you started. What you have done is beautiful. xxxAnnxxx
As one comment said liquid lead is not that easy. Believe me it takes a steady hand but so enjoyable to do on glass. Great results can be the payoff.
anyone looking to do this now, use a henna bottle with the narrow tips, you can get a kit on wish for like two bucks. they'll give you finer points
feel same way at times in your description - cheer up all will be good and sun will shine in your window again - just open the blinds a little each day - be brave and go see the world
You could of just used black fabric paint for the lead. If you want it to puff u more just use a hair dryer on it while it dries
i like this style of painting, although i think the reason you had issues with texture is because you may need a bigger squeeze bottle or a watered down mixture.
We are our own worst critic,it's healthy to want to do better..but i like it.. Looks like stained glass
It turned out pretty cool tho!! Thanks for the inspiration...I was given a bunch of picture frames also...been scratching my brain trying to decide what on earth to do with them.
All of your ingredients before you put them into dispensers. Use wrist support for better results on your lines and paint.
I think the uneven glue looks realistic, real stained glass has that same lumpy texture, just like most solder or weld work.
Have you tried applying high gloss modge podge to the glitter sections?
Add cornstarch to the "lead" and let it set up for half an hour +/- in the bottle.
So this turned out amazing, and I enjoyed watching your artistic process and your journey with this, but I had a HUGE problem with how negatively you talked to\about yourself. Please please work to cultivate more self love and care. You are the only you there is, which is divine, sacred, and wonderful. Please respect and honor yourself for this and so many more reasons! Keep going! I believe in you!
Please stop being so hard on yourself this was beautiful!!
Thank you for your video! It‘s very nice!
I feel just the same way especially today cant describe it either
Thank you for sharing- your comments cracked me up
OK, SO... YOU ARE: TOO Funny (OMG, when you said You Are Easily Amused, I Cracked Up ~ I ALWAYS SAY THAT ABOUT MYSELF, Mostly Cuz I AM!), TOO Adorable~ [Your Purrsonality Sparkles Through In The Video & YOUR SENSE OF HUMOR IS GR8... U REMIND ME OF SOMEONE ELSE THATS GR8: MEEE!] TOO Talented, I Am Not So Much~ Your Stained Glass Fairy (I SO L♡VE FAIRIES!) Turned Out SO BEAUTIFUL{But WHY No PURRPLE PAINT, Or Pink?!} & I Am So Impressed!
I don't know when THIS video was made, but as an Arts & Krafts Kween, I am concerned about the long term holding power of the loops that are glued onto the frame... I would be SO 😢😣 Bummed If the glass broke!
Anyway, I'm rambling AND I KEEP DOZING OFF WHILST I'M TYPING WHICH CAUSES ME TO HIT RANDOM KEYS AND MAKE WORDS THAT ARE NOT REAL WORDS... To SPARE YOU & YOUR *BRAJÑÑÑ THE CONFUSION {*SEE WHAT HAPPENED!} I'VE BEEN CORRECTING OR DELETING THE WORDS, BUUUT NOW... I've been up for like 24 hours due to fibromyalgia "whacked the fuck out symptoms" & It's time to Put Down The Tablet And STOP FUCKING TYPING ALREADY!
So My Dear, It Was Levedlx.Watching Your FABULOUS Video & Thanks Again!
💝💜💖🌈🐈
Hey I have Fibro too! We can be chronic illness buddies😊 So far the loops on the back have held up fine ~knocks on wood~ I'm so glad you appreciate my sense of humor, not everyone does🤷, so that makes me feel a lot better
Thank you💖
Very beautiful n unique. Loved the idea very much
I just read the description but I honestly hope you feel better as I know completely how you feel & I guess we’re both just trying to feel a bit more okay. But, I wish you the best in that journey. Loved this piece as well and it did help me feel a bit better so thank you❤️
I'm one of those who reads the description, and I like the way you wright! I often find myself in the place you described, I believe for myself, it is because I like making things also. Seems I hardly get through one project I'm already looking for the next one. When I find myself stuck is when I haven't finished or found a project to get my mind off of me. That's when I have a full blown pitty party and the quicker I can get busy the sooner I can leave the party.
"make peace with it."
"I didn't make peace with it, but that's a separate issue."
hahaha me.
I remember the problem with the uneven lines from using ready made window colors a few years back. They become smooth and even if you let your bottle be lifted around a quarter of an inch above the project. It sounds weird, but the paint is not so depended on your movements and those micro shivers you get when pressing to squeeze the stuff out. Your trailing it like a cable, stretching it out a little.
Colles Tolles this is what I was thinking too. It’s like piping on icing on a cake. You have to keep the tip slightly off the working area (your glass) and just let the paint lines fall.
First, It's absolutely lovely and shockingly good for a first attempt. You should give yourself more credit and be proud of your work. PS I LOVE the glow in the dark addition! I'd love to see another video.
***Does anyone know why all of the tutorials add glue?*** They make acrylic paint FOR glass and you can make it more translucent by adding water. I'm sincerely asking if there's a reason for the glue because I want to do one for OUTSIDE but I'm thinking glue will wash off in one rainstorm. I may need to go experiment.
I use a mixture of paint and glue to get a similar quality to the paints they design for using on glass, but without buying anything new. Also, that way I can mix any color I want. I try really hard to work with the materials I already have. It's not always perfect but it saves a lot of money. If you're doing an outdoor project you could try mixing the paint with a clear medium designed for outdoor use, maybe some kind of modpodge? I've never tried it before, so I can't be sure.
Your depression confession does not do you justice. You're talented, intelligent, and you're funny to listen to. I thought this video was great, and will look for more. You sound young, don't waste it. I'm turning 80 in October and absolutely don't know how it happened. Don't let regrets rule your life.
haha that's me making the glass squeak over and over
I wonder if sealing it with a clear resin would up it a bit.. Or even doing this WITH a clear resin instead of glue...i might have to try this, so inspired now! Thanks for sharing
Hi, This turned out so pretty. You should be proud.
I just watched a tut similiar to yours and for the black paint the girl used something called "Puffy" black paint??
A ton of people have mentioned that, so I think it could be a good alternative. I just didn't have any laying around
Use the acrylic as is, or add acrylic medium. Don't add the glue
Maybe when you do the outlines you could let them dry and then get a knife and cut out any unwanted lumps.
I think it's beautiful
I love this idea but isn't there any way to create this project without using actual glass? I work in a classroom and I cannot do projects that use real glass due to safety issues. Also, I'm unable to use any materials that are toxic. Price is another thing that I have to take into consideration. Unfortunately, we have a very limited budget so I'm looking to find materials in bulk and at a cheap price, so that they last us a long as possible. Is there any way to do this project without using real glass, avoiding toxic materials, and doing all of this as inexpensively as possible?
You can get clear plastic what like what you find on really cheap picture frames. I can't think what it's called though. And acrylic paint and glue can be found nontoxic as far as I'm aware. Hope you find something!
I do this on my windows too! I've done it to add detail to mirrors now I'm doing it on old plates & glass lids I had sitting around that didn't have a pan anymore :) Just go Crazy with it! I LOVE the glitter! AND never thought of using glow paints! How about Neon colors? GREAT tutoria!!!! But could you share what ratio of glue to paint you were happy with?
It really depends on the color and opacity I'm trying to achieve. I usually start out with a very small amount of paint and add more till it's the vibrancy I want. Its a lot easier to add color that take it away
To get rid of the bubbles a little sooner you can use a plummers torch and lightly and quickly cross the surface once or twice and the heat will lift the air to the surface and pop them. It leaves a nice clean shine on almost anything that is liquid before it cures solid. Great work!
It's better than, meh... I think it's very pretty
sure would LOVE the template you followed!!!
I wish I still had it, but thank you for sharing your interest. I'm going to try posting templates if I do another project like this in the future.
If it means anything, here goes. I do read descriptions and this made me want to do this craft. Thank you, and know that you are loved by God and He wants you to know true joy. Be encouraged by your creativity. It brings joy to others. See your value. I do.
I think it was super cute, good job!
I love it, I'd been trying to do a stain glass look with paint on rocks, glueing those hooks on the back, will it hold forever? Wondering if the weight could cause a hook to come off and ruin your beautiful work...
It's held up pretty well so far, I used a pretty heavy duty glue e6000

Would you happen to know when you hang it and it’s in direct sunlight for awhile.. does the colors fade????
Well, the one I made has been hanging in a sunny video since I made this (about 11 months) and seems to be fine so far, but uv radiation is pretty damaging regardless. So pretty much everything but real glass will fade with time
it came out super cute =) nice job...
I really really like your results! So much so that I've decided to do one for myself and see how it turns out! It looks really good in the video so I think you should upgrade you aw to a wow! LOL Thanks for sharing your video!
