Just the kits that u can get at craft stores. I was wonderingn if it is something that u could hang in your window after u make it or does it look like something that a first grader would bring home from school.(No offense kiddo's....I love all of you!) Just dont want to waste the money to buy the supplies, if I am not certain.

HUGS TO YA SWEETIE!!
yes.!!! I Love stained glass and painted glass
i have sold my art to people in 31 states now and i sold one piece to a person in africa.. i lvoe it all..the real stained glass is wonderful but gets very expensive..so i took up with painted glass which looks identical to real stained glass .. and apparently alot of people love it as well as i sell alot!!
its not hard to do at all..
if you choose gallery glass paints..as they call them.. be careful..because i found after a period of time the colors fade..especially the reds... and yes this can be hung just like real stained glass
theres differant types of the paint as they call them...theres the transparent and the smooth or theres the cathedral colorings..
the cathederal ones you can do while the glass is in a door etc..but the others you have to have the glass laying flat..
sweetie this is so easy... you can do it and their beautiful... if after awhile ya dont like the design ya made you can score the picture and use some water to clean off the design
just go to hobby sites and read up on the products... its fun and i also do my own patterns... the Harleys i do are very detailed and alot of intricate parts to the design.. you may not want tos tart with something like that.. the other thing is..make sure you get out the air bubbles..otherwise they show up and ruin the coloring...
youll learn sweetie and good luck...i hope you get into it...i think youll loove it once ya get everything organized sweetie
hugssss an GOD bless

Practice first and you really get nice results. The most difficult part is getting the "lead lines" straight and keeping the lead paint flowing smoothly so that you don't get air bubbles. One manufacturer has pre-made lead lines, which work pretty well if you are using that exact length and you don't have many curves. You can practice on mirrors, glass shards and even plexiglass. Also, use a pattern that you trace on the window you intend to create with a sharpie fine point. You can find patterns at the craft store and they are well worth buying if you find one you like. I did a fluer-de-lis that fools everyone into thinking it is stained glass. I had 3 practice tries before I perfected the technique, however...the good news is that if you made a mistake you can remove it with a razor blade.

It's fun to do!.... I did glass 'window' for my cabinets.. no color, just the lines and the 'textured' paint in clear and frost... way easy!!... I taped a paper pattern behind my glass... drawing ON the glass is iffy for a new crafter to this..... I've done window hangings, too.. and yes, they do fade if in the sunlight... but I just repaint and they're fine.... I used the precut lines of 'leading'.... they curve if you need them to and are careful!... give it a try... you'll get started and then go looking for more things to add 'glass' to!!... *smile*............
