Like most crafters, I love trying new products. About 10 years ago a client of mine called me after seeing a ‘faux’ stained glass window on HGTV. She figured since I paint, surely I could do this too.
Ok. So I hustled over to the craft store where I used to work and, sure enough, they had an entire section of Gallery Glass by Plaid. I got the basics and played around a bit, eventually creating a stained glass transom window for my client.
Unfortunately, I don’t have a picture of any of my work from 10 years ago. If it isn’t digital, I don’t have it.
For a while, no window was safe. I decorated the bay window in my sister-in-law’s breakfast nook . . .
A pantry door . . .
And even a $10 light from Lowes in a wine room . . .
Gallery Glass is awesome stuff. It does take a little practice – kind of like piping on a cake – but it’s fun and the results are wonderful. And not permanent. You can always remove the faux stained glass because it’s actually an acrylic substance.
If you’re interested in a step-by-step, I wrote one last year for this sidelight window.
But like I said before, who doesn’t love trying new products out? Or new techniques?
And what if you can use stuff you already have on hand? Like glue and paint?
Isn’t it beautiful? I’m definitely going to try this method too!
Do you have a window in your house where ‘stained glass’ would work? Or a glass tub enclosure? Or mirror? Yeah, the possibilities are endless!
