Step by Step using Plaid's "Gallery Glass"

This wonderful product replicates stained glass for a fraction of the cost of the real thing. It's so easy to use. The hardest part is coming up with a pattern. Just look at real stained glass images to get inspiration.
It's fully removable, easy to clean, and can dress up any glass surface in your home - not just windows.
