Materials
- 1 piece Clear glass surface (window, glass jar, etc.) Choose a clear glass surface for your artwork.

Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare your glass surface. Ensure it is clean and free of dust by wiping it with glass cleaner.
- Plan your design. Lightly sketch your design directly onto the glass with a pencil or use masking tape for clean edges.
Painting
- Start painting with your darker colors, working toward lighter shades. Apply the paint in thin layers and allow each layer to dry.
- Experiment with blending colors while they are still wet by using a clean brush to feather between colors for a gradient effect.
Finishing Up
- Allow it to dry completely, which may take several hours or overnight. Ensure the paint feels dry and firm to the touch.
- Once dry, seal your artwork with a clear coat if desired for added shine and protection.
Display
- Find a place for your stained glass to catch the light, such as a window or a lantern, to enjoy the colorful display.

Tips & Notes:
If paint drips, scrape away excess paint with a razor blade once dry. For colors that aren’t vibrant enough, apply another layer of paint to enhance brightness.
