Making Faux Stained Glass with Denise Boddey Designs

Learn how to make faux stained glass using panels from Denise Boddey Designs. @deniseboddeydesigns #sponsored

Looking at these Sprouts Panels from Denise Boddey Designs, I thought they would work well sandwiched together. Then I needed to decide what to put between them. Could I make faux stained glass with alcohol ink? Why not give it a try!

Materials:

  • Sprouts Panels
  • white acrylic paint
  • paintbrush
  • laminate and laminator
  • alcohol ink
  • dust cleaner
  • adhesive
  • twine
  • scissors
  • knife blade
  • Kamar Varnish
  • Clear Glaze

Special thanks to Denise Boddey Designs and ScraPerfect for providing some of the materials that are used in this project. I am a design team member with both companies.

Using a laminator and a laminate sheet, send it through by its self. Then set it aside. This is the plastic sheet that will be used as faux stained glass.

Video Tutorial:

Here is a close-up of the finished project. I love how the colors blend together and show through the chipboard piece. Because the chipboard is laser cut, they align perfectly.

The whole finished piece with light shining through. I can’t wait to hang this in a window. I think it turned out so nice.

How to DIY Alcohol Ink on a Mug

Crafting with Alcohol Ink has been around awhile. You might have even tried it. I saw someone doing this technique and knew I had to try it out. The variety comes from plastic wrap for the wrinkle technique. This was my first attempt using the wrap technique, and I am thrilled with the outcome. I wanted to be extra safe and I didn’t put any materials around the top part of the mug where your lips would come in contact.

Materials:

Directions:

Layout one layer of plastic wrap on your table surface.

circle

Center your mug on the plastic wrap and draw a circle around the bottom of the mug. Remove the mug and place another layer of plastic wrap on top.
 

tape

Off to the side, tape off the bottom of the mug if you don’t want the ink to get on it. (this is optional) Trim the tape to the size of the mug. Use the Rubbing Alcohol and paper towel, clean off the outside of the mug.
 

ink

Go around the circle in a random fashion with all the different colors of ink you desire. There is no need to waste ink on the bottom of the mug. This is why we took the time to draw the circle. I didn’t want the entire mug covered with ink so my circle of ink is rather thin.
 

setup

Place the mug in the center of your ink circle and then lift up the plastic wrap to cover the entire mug. 
 

plastic wrap

Press the plastic wrap around the mug pushing the ink up the side of the mug. Make sure there is a tight contact all around the mug and that the plastic wrap will not come undone. Let it sit for 24 hours. Then unwrap the plastic wrap and discard it.
 

finished mug

If you are happy with the results spray a light coat of spray glaze over the entire outside of the mug. Wait for it to completely dry. Using the foam brush, paint a thin layer of the Mod Podge. Allow it to completely dry, at least 2 hours. Paint 3 total layers of Mod Podge. 

Follow the directions on the Mod Podge and allow it to sit the required amount of time. When this is done, the mug will be top-rack dishwasher safe.
