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.

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.

DIY Inexpensive Floral Embellishments

How to make inexpensive floral embellishments from Dollar Tree materials.

I have had so much fun making these colorful flowers. Would you believe me if I told you I spent a total of two dollars and I haven’t even made a dent in my supplies? OK, the colors came from a variety of products I already had on hand so I guess you could argue it costs more. I share with you a variety of different techniques so hopefully, it will cover some products you already own and will not need to purchase. Plus, you can make these flowers into the colors you need specifically for your craft project.

detail of colored flowers

I found that placing the leaves on the back of the flowers left some glue dot uncovered, which could be used to adhere the flowers to my projects. I decided to place a glue dot on the back of all of the flowers and place them on a coated surface for storage.
