Painting glass

We love painting and are always on the lookout for new ways to do it! So when I came across a post about stained glass windows – I thought – we’ve got to try that. Mind you, we have gone a fair bit simpler and more ‘freestyle’ here 🙂

We used the glass from some photo frames that I bought at a local $2 shop and some lovely acrylic paint mixed with pva glue (1:1). Master D loved the bright vibrant colours and swirling them around on the glass.

And I even got in on the action 🙂 Aren’t they pretty!

While using the slate blue he said ‘these have lovely colours mum’. Although he seemed to favour the red brown colour. This is what he created:

Thanks for reading, Kelly
