How to Create a Stained Glass suncatcher with Stained Glass Paint

On a mirror or large piece of plexi-glass, draw lead lines.
Allow them to dry.

While the lead is drying, use the graphite paper to trace your design onto the glass.

When the lead is dry, use it to outline what you drew.
Cut the lead at any point where it meets lead.

Use the remaining liquid lead to "sorter" the joints where the lead pieces meet.

Apply the colors of your choice and allow to dry.

You will be amazed how realistic the suncatcher looks.
Even though you know it's paint, you will have to keep reminding yourself it is only painted on.
