Stained Glass Window – Create This Effect Yourself!

This project was completed by one of my friends (Kim). When I saw what she had done, I just had to share it on my website!  

This is a fun and easy DIY project that you can complete in an afternoon. Transform your window with a colorful stained glass effect that lets light through. The effect can be easily wiped away when you are ready for a new look. Painters tape and chalk markers are all you need! 

Instructions: 

  • Clean your window. 
  • Select whichever width painter’s tape you wish. Tape window in various patterns. Try to avoid all the same shapes and sizes. 
  • Use the chisel side of your chalk markers. Color in the shapes. You may need to cap and reshake your marker depending on the sizes of your shapes. 
  • Try not to go over where you have already colored, as it will take off the chalk. If you make a mistake, you can just wipe off with a paper towel and try again. 
  • Let the chalk dry, about an hour and then peel off the tape. 

That’s it! Enjoy for as long as you want.  It’s not permanent.
