DIY Guide: Creating Stained Glass-Inspired Items with 100-Yen Store Glass Paints! Sparkling and Cute♡

【Bride DIY】Let's Make Stained Glass Style Items♡

Using 'glass paint' available at 100 yen shops like Daiso and Seria, it's becoming popular among brides to DIY wedding items in a stained glass style＊

As the name suggests, glass paint is a type of paint that can be used to write letters or draw pictures on glass or plastic surfaces.

Over time, the painted parts turn translucent, giving them a cute, sparkling appearance like this♡

The process is easy and it’s a budget-friendly DIY, so many brides might be saying, "I've been wanting to try this for a long time!"＊

Therefore, in this article, we will explain how to create stained glass style items using glass paint!

Here is the necessary materials list!

① Glass paint (if you can’t find the desired color, you can mix them to create your own)

② Photo frame (for those who want to stick it on windows, using a removable clear file is recommended)

③ Design sketch (printing it out on paper is good)

While you need to prepare the sketch yourself, both items ① and ② can easily be purchased at a 100 yen shop, making it very affordable＊

【Making Stained Glass with Glass Paint】Step 1

Place the design sketch that you want to draw under the photo frame＊

Using masking tape or clips to secure it in place can provide peace of mind◎

Using black glass paint, trace the outlines of your design (if you’re worried about drawing directly, it’s okay to make a rough sketch with a pen first)

The glass paint from 100 yen shops usually has a fine tip, so many people seem to squeeze the container directly while drawing♩

For detailed parts, you can use a toothpick to assist＊

Once the black glass paint is fully dry (about 2 hours), it’s time to paint in colors!

As time passes, it will become translucent, so the tip to make it look nice is to apply a thick, plump layer♩

If bubbles form, you can pop them with a toothpick＊

Once the glass paint is completely dried, you're done!♡

If you are peeling it off from the clear file, it seems to be easier if you chill it in the refrigerator♩
