STAIN GAMEBring
the timeless beauty of
stained glass into your
home, left. To get this
look, discard the backing
from a used or new
picture frame. Remove
glass from the frame and
clean it. Using a self-
adhesive lead strip, unroll
the leading. The leading
comes with a crease in
the center; it can be torn
in half if a thinner leading
strip is preferred. Snip the
center of the leading with
scissors. Once started,
it is easy to tear apart
by hand. Adhere your
leading design to the
glass. Paint colors onto
glass using Vitrail glass
paint (A). Mix paint with a
lightening medium if you
desire more translucent
color. The paints are
mixable and can be made
more pastel by adding
white. When dry, reinsert
the glass in the frame.
