Master-class on making stained glass by own hands
How to make stained glass windows with your own hands at home so that they are not only beautiful, but also not afraid of moisture and not fade? First, we'll tell you about the materials that you might need in the process of making a stained glass panel.
First of all, you must have a sketch. You can draw it yourself on opaque paper, or look into the Internet or other sources and draw already finished.
Next, you will need to purchase raw materials for drawing a contour pattern, which will simulate the seams between the individual elements of the stained glass window. To do this, use a special especially dense paint, and sometimes - a contour tape - all this you will find in any so-called art store. Shades of the contour can be very different: copper, gold, silver or even black metal.
Then you can take the door glass, which will serve as the base. Although as a base for drawing a stained-glass pattern, you can use any hard surface, whether it's a vase or a glass.
Do not forget to buy the main element of stained glass - paints and varnishes. When buying, take into account, on what surface you will apply the drawing - vertical or horizontal. On the horizontal it is easier, of course, because it is well seated and thick paints, and liquid varnishes for glass. By the way, varnishes are used in case you want to leave the glass more or less transparent.
A paint dispenser is also required. It has the form of a sharpened pencil, because due to the fact that the paints have their own tension, they will need to be distributed on the basis, trying to drive even into the most acute and hard-to-reach corner.
