Faux Stained Glass Project: Cardinal and Magnolia Design by Jan Cumber

© Jan Easters Cumber

This ‘paint by number’ faux stained glass project is something anyone can create, using the techniques explained and the supplies listed. By following the directions your very first project will be one you can display with pride!

The paints used for this project are Gallery Glass® Window Color™, a paint developed specifically for use on glass surfaces to create faux stained glass. You’ll need the following colors for this project:

  • Snow White (#16002)
  • Royal Blue (#16012)
  • Ruby Red (#16015)
  • Charcoal (#16018)
  • Amber (#16020)
  • Ivy Green (#16024)
  • Champagne (16094)
You’ll also need the following:
  • A 12” round surface (I recommend using plexi-glass or acrylic)
  • A bottle of Liquid Lead (#16076)
  • A metal combing tool (#16225 Gallery Glass Tool Kit) or toothpicks
  • A printout of the design
  • Paper towels
  • Cotton swabs
  • Toothpicks
  • Protective Sealer (#16485) (optional)
  • A decorative chain framing and hanging chain
  • A small suction cup to display the finished project

The paints and tools can be found in large art supply stores, but to make it easy for my students, I also keep supplies.

Let's get started!
