Faux Stain Glass Sun Catcher
With some Gallery Glass, a picture frame, and a wall sticker from Dollar Tree, I was able to create a beautiful faux stain glass sun catcher.

For this project I used:
Plaid Gallery Glass
A Picture Frame
Dollar Tree Wall Sticker
Faux Stain Glass Sun Catcher Video
I took apart the picture frame and cleaned the glass on both sides.
I dipped my finger in the gallery glass and then pounced it up and down on the glass. This painted the glass and gave it texture.
I continued doing this with all the colors I wanted.
I let the paint dry completely and then put it back in the picture frame. I put the painted side facing in and the not painted side would be the front of the picture. I left the backing off so it could be a sun catcher.
I placed my wall sticker on top of the glass.
I am so pleased with how this sun catcher turned out. The pictures just don’t do it justice. You can place it in a window or hang it on a wall.
This is lovely and so easy to do. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much Christine 🙂

Such a cool technique! I love how the light looks shining through the colors.
Thank you Emy, so far the colors have held up too – I was a little worried about fading.

What a clever idea! I love that you added the word art too. It gives it that perfect extra decorative touch!
Thank you so much Marie and I love that the stickers can be changed up if you like.
Another clever idea! I love how the paint dried and that wall sticker is just the perfect finishing touch.
You are so very sweet, thank you so much Joanne.
I love coloured glass and this is a great way to achieve the effect without the cost and time that real stained glass involves.
Thank you so very much Leanne, and you are so very right.
So pretty! I love the colors you used and it really does look like stained glass!!
