Stained Glass
Step By Step
1. Choose a stain glass pattern. Reduce or
enlarge it to fit the glass size. Note- pattern should not
be too intricate as this will make it difficult to trace
with caulking
2. To create
lead line, cut 1/2" off the tip of the grey acrylic
caulking. Put the tube in the gun. Place with spray
adhesive or painters tape. On the opposite side of the
glass, trace pattern with the acrylic caulking. Let dry 48
hours.
3. To trim lead line, take the Exacto
knife and trim caulking into straight lines of even width.

4.
Glass pattern: work with silicon in a well ventilated area.
Pebbled pattern: Spread clear silicone in the section that you
want to have the pebbled glass effect. With an old toothbrush, tap
on the silicone, pulling it up into small raised peaks. Make sure
to take the silicone to the edge of the caulking.

patterned frosted glass
Circular Pattern: Using your finger or rubber end of a pencil, put
a dab of clear silicone on the glass in a circular motion, similar
to finger painting. Repeat this pattern until the section is
filled.
