First things first. Grab some white Elmer’s glue, clear Elmer’s glue, and paints. You’ll want black paint as well as whatever colors you want your stained glass to be. With the white glue, add a bit of black paint. The tutorial beow suggests about a tablespoon, but you can eyeball it. Mix the paint in with the glue using a skewer.

Once the glue and paint have been mixed, you can either print out a design to trace, orgo crazy with a freehand drawing. Whichever option you choose, make sure to just do the outline, leaving enough space between lines for the next step. Once you’re done with your design, let the glue dry for 24 hours.

Here’s where things really get fun. Separate your clear glue, whether you use a muffin tin like they do in the tutorial below or small cups. Add a little bit of colored paint to each pocket of glue. Be careful not to add too much, otherwise, the glass won’t be see-through. Once you’re satisfied with your colors and their transparency, go ahead and paint away!
