The way you did the crystal clear (as well as the frosted) are the best looking end results I've seen. Thanks!
Your pattern choice & placement was mind blowing. The way the peaks aligned with, then disrupted the shape of the neighbour's roof behind the glass. When i focused on that i saw pure genius. Alchemical frankly: You turned that eyesore building into the suggestion of a mountain instead. It qualifies as art.
What a lovely compliment. Thank you!
THIS is the tutorial I've been searching for. You have provided an excellent how-to for those of us that want to try this technique. In my case, I am going to have new interior doors installed but they open up onto our enclosed porch and thus they also act as exterior doors. Rather than pay over $3,000 per door for leaded glass doors with a linear design, I can now follow your example and create a more than acceptable design.
Thanks very much for taking the time to record this for us all.
Thank you so much for the tutorial. I learn better by seeing, and you demonstrated it very well. I plan to use this method on my kitchen cabinets.
I learned about Gallery Glass just the other day and I'm super excited to add some old world character to a rather plain apartment. Thank you for the tutorial. I wasn't sure if I would have to remove my windows and work on a flat surface and I'm happy that I don't. I also love your pebbling effect. It looks absolutely perfect!
Thank you for the tutorial. I've been looking for some DIY to get privacy for my window without having to use curtain or blinds.
I love what you did here and I ordered the paints and leading to try this. Thank you for this excellent tutorial.
I would have used gaudy colors. You saved me from that.
Extraordinary work and easy to follow tutorial! I live in an apartment complex and I'm going to be doing this for my lounge and hallway windows so I can let some natural light in and not have neighbors peeping in :)
I am so impressed with the process! The final result is excellent!
Im building a craftsman front door and will use this for the tempered glass panes...well done! Your interior design ethic comes thru!
Hi Jen. I just wanted to say thanks for going to the effort to show people how to this despite the lateness of evening, the toddler, and the gloomy weather (you are a trooper). I too am involved in restoring a heritage house (in Sydney, Australia, rather than the US/Canada - sorry, I still struggle with differentiating the US/Canadian accent) and appreciate the work-arounds we sometimes have to resort to when we can't find/afford an original heritage replacement. Which is what is stumping me from restoring an old victorian door with odd dimensions here in Oz at the moment. It looks wonderful, and I am going to give it a crack. Congratulations. gen
This is such a wonderful, detailed and informative video... I had no idea how to get started, or make straight lines with the peel-off leading (you used a ruler!) and swirl the paint with your fingertip to look like real pebbled glass. Now I can't wait to get started! Thank you so much! I subscribed.
+Catherine S. Todd Thank you for the feedback! I'm so glad you found this helpful. Enjoy your project!
Nice tutorial. Gallery Glass is great, I've used it for 20-25 years. I only use the clear now (like you did), but years ago when stained glass was so popular I had fun with the colors. Thanks for this, I like to watch others do crafts.
Thank you, Rose!
Great job!
great tutorial Jen. i used to think that using lead cames are the only way to achieve this look. this video has made my life so much easier. Thanks!
I've been using this stuff for a while now, but I've been working on horizontal surfaces and then framing it in. I wondered how doing it like that would turn out and I have to say you've a smashing success! good idea with the paintbrush, too! I'll have to try that.
Inspiring! Thank you for showing the process. I've read about it, but seeing you do it, I get it!
thanks jen! - very cool! thanks to your tutorial, i'm replacing all 8 of our garage door windows with glass and creating 8 different frank lloyd wright type patterns. i'm putting the redi lead on the side facing out and painting the sides facing in so they will not be exposed to outdoor weather & moisture. wish i could post a photo here
+tbone45040 If you want, you can send photos to my email, jen@jenspends.com, and I would love to show them on my blog.
Looks AMAZING!!!!!
Very Helpful! We just bought a house and the previous owner had attached ugly faux stained glass over top/inside of the sidelights of our front door. I plan to use the lead lines and frosted to create a more classic look. Going to practice on some frame glass first!! Thanks!
Great tutorial, I'll try this on my sidelite
Beautiful job. Love it
WOW - that looks GREAT. Love the pattern you choose too. BTW - your little boy sound adorable!
Wow that looks amazing. Great videos. Will help me out with what I want to do.
I have use this before.
Impressive😏 Much better than I'd anticipated, thank you for the demonstration
I get Lexan cut (locally, at a plastics shop) to size and fit OVER an existing window in some of my projrcts, allowing for horizontal work. This allows for easy repair and maintenance.
+Dan Lo Fat : Another great idea. Do you have a blog or somewhere we can see some of your work?
Jen you are doing a fantastic job there!
Thank you so much for the tutorial! You are an inspiration to us all!! Yours turned out beautifully! Wow! I’m so impressed!! Great job! Looks so perfect!
Thank you for sharing! It looks amazing!
sorry. anyway I head the product but did not find instructions on the website now I can proceed. Beautiful job and this video is very much appreciAted !
Thank you! I'm glad it helped.
Absolutely beautiful work!! Thank you for sharing this!!!!! ☮️
Great work ! Thanks for the insights 🙏
That turned out great! Thanks for the video :)
Great job! And great pointers, thanks!
Looks awesome! Great tutorial and method example
you did an awesome job, it looks beautiful. You got me motivated!
I’m so glad I came across your video. I’ve been wanting to do this for a long time. I’ve had those products like what you have, and I’ve been waiting for a video like this. Thank you so much! 😍
Great tutorial! Looks beautiful!
Absolutely fabulous!!!! Thank you so much for this video❤️❤️❤️
Wow!!!! Im impressed! Ty for the inspo!
I have also made (in photoshop , etc) window treaments that FedEx can print on window cling material - last at least 2 years, and helps insulte your windows! You can apply the cling directly (normal ) or frame-0stretch it , where the framing is measrued to "snap" into the window settings. Sonetimes small screws will be necessary in corners.
+Dan Lo Fat : This is a great idea, and one I didn't know about. Thanks!
PS: What is "frame-0stretch it?" Where to find out more about this?
I actually meant pane snapping, when the frame tolerance is so close that the panes almost snap into place. Before snapping into place, stretch the clingy material over the pane, then snap in place to the frame spot.
Looks great! Thanks!
WOW...
That is Beautiful
Great Job...
How is this holding up after 6 years? Does it still look good?
You are AWESOME!! Thank you for the tutorial. Thats exactly what I was looking for. Cheers.
I use black art tape from Cosco brand and any super thin washi tape from hobby lobby.
Beautiful, well done!
came out great!
Thanks for the tutorial
It looks so good - great for privacy! Does it also block some of the sunlight?
I like that!!! Thank you.
I’ve just found this tutorial and it’s EXACTLY what I’ve been looking for..thankyou! Quick question…would this paint work on an outside piece of glass?
Thanks! I would recommend against using outside. Moisture can cause the paint to cloud up, and extreme changes in temperature shorten the lifespan of the paint.
thank you so much ! l have been wanting to o
I have a 96 year old home myself! I love this! Great JOB! :D Do you think this would be appropriate for a bathroom window? that faces the neighbors house? Also I wonder about the humidity. Either way I will be doing this to one of my windows in my home eee. wish me luck :D
Thank you! I think for privacy it would definitely work, especially if you were to use the frosted paint. Humidity does affect the paint -- even once cured it will cloud up in damp conditions, but it will return back to normal once it dries again. This happens to my window whenever it's very rainy (old wood frame), but it hasn't affected the adhesion at all. Hope that helps!
Thanks so much for this turorial. I realize i should be able to do the math but I'm still trying to decide on a design for my window. Can you recall how many packages of the lead line you used for this project? Just trying to get an idea of how many supplies i'd need
Wow, very impressive, the end result and the detailed video!
Thanks for doing this!
Any thoughts on how the second paint might look on an "Energy Efficient", i.e. tinted window?
I was excited to try to create an antique look on our replacement windows for our replacement windows...(the guys @ This Old House call them disposable windows) but I was devastated to learn that clear glass windows are no longer sold in California!
So now I'm left with tinted windows with no character at all!
I'm hoping to do something!!!
Thank you! I think it's worth a try. You would still see the tint, but it would add texture and character.
Wonderful
I know this type of paint is prone to getting bubbles in it. Did you have any issues with tiny bubbles? The instructions say to take a needle and burst them before it dries. How you deal with them?
Hi, thanks for posting this. Would you say it would be better to do this process with the glass lying flat or vertical?
I'm not sure if it would affect the wavy pattern you got with your fingertips. Sometimes gravity works in your favor. Just wondering if you have any suggestions on this. Thanks
From what I recall, the paint was not very "runny." I think in some ways it may have been easier for me to work on a horizontal surface, but I think the look would have been more or less the same either way. I don't think gravity affected the wavy part all that much.
@@jenniferrobertscreative thank you so much. Love the video. Are the products in the video still currently good or have they developed better products?
@@bobalmendinger4930 You're welcome, and thank you! I would say you can't go wrong with the products I used--they've been around a very long time. They may have newer products to try, but I haven't been keeping up with the brand like I used to.
@@jenniferrobertscreative ok , thank you . Have a good evening.
Will this work on an acrylic sheet? I'll be doing it with teens and I'm concerned re safety. Our piece is not framed. It will be a loose piece 24 x 24
Jen I know this is a very old post , but I have an old gallery glass design I am trying to remove. any ideas what i can use to get it off.???? Ive sprayed it with water but its brittle and water dosent seem to sufice.
Jen, I have a sliding door, that I want to do with a small section of pattern, but a large portion of just rippled wavy glass. It is a large area. If I rolled on the large area with a roller would it cover and make the ripple effect, or would I be just wasting lots of the paint. is there something other than just using my finger to get that ripply effect. I am not the worlds neatest painter, and have a small budget. My house is 140 years old and I want to make these doors a whole lot older and charming looking as well as a bit more private. Please respond, as I really need to do this right the first time. Thanks so much... your window look like a dream
I would think it would give some kind of ripple effect, depending on the nap of the roller. I haven't tried it myself, though, so I can't say for sure how it would turn out.
Wonderful job. It looks great and blends in architecturally! Can it be removed it someone wanted to change it out?
+Jo Lindstrom I'm sorry I didn't see your comment until now. Yes, these products are removable.
+Jen Spends Less Do you know how to remove it? I've had some on my window for about 10 years and I'm ready to remove it.
+Deann Claude Cut it along the edges with a utility knife, then it should peel off like a static cling.
Are you leading inside or outside???
And is it washable later??
love it! Curious, did you clear coat or do anything so you could clean it?
How much paint and leading did you use
GREAT idea and VERY Well done! KUDDOS! Thanks and God Bless! O:)
Great job there Jen. So was there no need to clean the window first then?
Cliff, I'm sure you should clean, rinse and dry the glass first. Very important and a good question you asked. Jen does mention cleaning the window first at the 3:13 mark.
QUESTION - do you need to pre-treatment the glass with anything for the liquid glass paints? I don't want them to come off. Thanks!
+J Greer No, just wipe clean with glass cleaner first. My window is still as good as ever.
I am getting started on a faux window even as I type. Question: Can I color the crystal glaze or the frosted paint?
I would reach out to the Plaid company about that. I’m not sure if coloring would affect the finish and performance or not.
They have a wide variety of colors to choose from
Jen, I want to do a similar window (2 actually) in our livingroom. Is the Gallery Glass lead lines that are sticky - are they permanent after awhile? And is the paint also permanent? What if I want to remove all of it in a few years? Thanks.
+mj Bradley No, these products are not permanent. When the paint dries it is like a static cling and can be peeled off if you need to remove it. In fact, some people use these products to make re-usable window clings. If you are using the leading lines, you may need to score along the lines with a utility knife in order to be able to peel off the window paint easily, then peel off the leading lines. I would just be careful about getting it on the window frame itself, especially if it is wood, as I wouldn't expect the paint to remove from surfaces other than glass. Hope that helps!
+jenspends THANKS! I'm so excited to execute my plan now!
Can you tell me how to remove it from glass when it has been done right on the window? Love it but house needs to sell and need to remove it. I can't get it off!
You may want to reach out to the manufacturer (Plaid Crafts) for specific instructions. I have not had to remove mine, but from what I have seen, you should run a utility knife around the edges of the paint to break the seal and then peel it off.
Thank you . I have tried everything I can think of . I have scraped and tried warm vinegar, paint removers... I will reach out to them and hope they have a solution. It took so many hours to scrap just one section of one window. I am already making new ones for the windows in the new old house but this time I am making them on blanks then applying them. Yours looks wonderful and very fitting a Craftsman style home! Great job!
I saw the self adhesive leading and it seems like the adhesive is weak? It seems like it will not hold on to the glass.. can someone help me with this?
The adhesive is repositionable, but in my experience adheres quite well. Once you add the Gallery Glass paint, that “locks” the lead lines into place. Mine haven’t budged since I made this window.
Jennifer Roberts Thanks for answering! 👍🏻
How private is this from the outside looking in?
It's difficult to say because from the outside the window is quite high up. It obscures things pretty well...you can't make out any shapes inside.
Very nice. I'm going to try this for my front door glass panel.
