How to Make a stained glass picture frame

In this Arts & Crafts video tutorial you will learn how to make a stained glass picture frame. This video is from Artists Resource. You will need a Marabu GlasArt kit, some white spirit, a china graph pencil, scissors, a ruler, sheets of scrap paper, lead tape and a picture frame. Take the frame and remove the clips. With the ruler and china graph pencil mark off and draw 6" squares. Rub off the center lines with a tissue. This is where the photo will fit. Next you fill the squares with the glass paint; using different color for adjacent squares. Once all the squares are painted, cut off and stick lead strips along the lines in between the squares and finally along the border of the inner big square. Then paste the photo on the backing sheet, put it behind the glass and put the clips on. And your stained glass photo frame is ready!
