Very helpful… finally one that makes me feel I can do a huge project and make it look realistically like stained glass at 1/50 of the cost haha. Will try to send my finished piece to you when it’s done.
I found your application techniques quite interesting. My sister sells faux stained glass pictures at craft fairs, and she has taught me how to do the painting based on techniques that she has taught herself. You got some interesting effects here, so I shared your video with her so that she can see what you decided to do. I think you got very professional results, and just the right amount of opaqueness to provide privacy. I've been viewing your videos, and I'm glad that you are staying true to your own aesthetics and personal style. You are a very talented individual, and I'm really enjoying seeing your work, thanks for sharing and being such an inspiration!
I just watched about 10 other versions of this kind of video looking for somebody that did one on a horizontal surface. You did a great job, and I have 2 windows that I am about to do very similar things to now. Thanks!

It's funny to see Gallery Glass making a comeback. I remember they were popular in the 90s. You did an amazing job and it looks like the real deal stained glass in the end.
So agree with you about shopping these days. Stores want us to come in, but just never seem to have stock in what I want for products in all areas of retail. So sad. But love your channel.
This is fantastic! It turned out so great and the time you took one making the pattern.... I have used the etching stuff on my clear baking sheets and it worker great. Now I need to pull it back out and see what else I can etch!
Im not sure this feels like enough privacy to me personally for a bathroom, but I absolutely love the accessibility of the project and the modern stained glass look you were able to achieve.
Hey Erin! I totally feel ya on the privacy thing. I think if it becomes an issue I can layer up the paint a bit with lots of texture to help with that. But I’m so glad you like how it looks!
Wow! This window renovation looks amazing. I am impressed with your dedication to the led lines. The clear frosted paint looks so clean and adds personality.
You are super talented. It's refreshing to watch someone who doesn't just follow every trend. Your unique style and creative takes on design are refreshing. Equally impressive is your talent in making the videos. Your camera work, editing and commentary make your videos probably the best I watch in this category. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much Deana! I’m so happy to hear that you’re enjoying my content from a video making perspective as well as just the projects. I don’t often get that kind of feedback so I sometimes start to question myself on that stuff. I really appreciate you taking the time to watch and share your kind thoughts!
I agree with everything she said. And your honest portrayal of the process helps people who don't diy much see that not every step seems like it's going to turn out the way you plan but hang in there and do it to the best of your ability and you might be pleasantly surprised. That window is a home run!
Just came across this because I was searching for techniques and materials on how to do this kind of thing. Yours turned out SO well. You are right, it's absolutely doable but it just depends how much time you're willing to put in to get things looking really professional.
You chose a style that is my favourite and have been making lead lighting and painting/printing design over 50 years now. My first window was a pattern I created very similar to yours.
This turned out so beautiful ❤️ You are so sweet and talented 😍 I kinda liked the painting on the window before too but I thought it was very sweet that you said something kind about the artist that did their best to create a solution for that window.
Thats the coolest stained glass Ive ever seen. When you were figuring out the design my brain could not! Maths and geometry is not my strong suit. You are so clever
Absolutely love how your window turned out! Stumbled upon your video while researching how to do a large window in my house and was very impressed with your product application techniques as well as your tutorial. You showed doing this is not as intimidating as it seems. Thank you! ❤️ ✌️
Wow, this really came out nice! I gotta say I'm not really a fan of faux stained glass as I made leaded stained glass Windows UNTIL all my supplies were stolen, BUT, yours my friend, came out beautiful, just wonderful! Your attention to detail and your own artistic talent made such a big difference in the outcome! Love it, love your design, how you made your own pattern and held it to the back of the glass , working on top of that. Good job, way good!!! I'm impressed ,as with many of your diys and house projects!💞
very cool design! I bet my son would like something like this for his room that has tons of small windows. he loves optical illusions. So much effort though! I'm impressed
I just randomly found your channel. I am an instant fan! I do my art like you do. I just let it happen. It rarely ends up being what I initially planned. You are my new favorite!
Wow, that turned out really well especially since I wasn’t a fan of the design but I really like the final result. We have huge windows in our bathroom over the garden tub which is nice but they had to flip the plans for our house because the driveway and garage because of the storm drain location and they couldn’t do the driveway there. Because our house had to be flipped the neighbors master bath faces ours and they have a 2 story so it’s looking directly down into ours. I have been wanting to do a faux stained glass of a coral reef or something to hang in the window so we didn’t have to keep the blinds closed all of the time. Seeing you do your little window kinda freaked me out because of how detailed and time consuming it was. I now have more of an idea how to do it but don’t know if I have the attention to detail or the patience for it. I’m saving your video so I can watch again and again if I end up going with my plan. I may just end up going with window film since I am not crafty…if I can just find an ocean design.
Hello....one year later. Was just wondering how it has held up? Also...how do you clean it? Can you just use regular Windex on it? It turned out so good! Great job!
Very nice! Being a perfectionist definitely made the difference in the quality. I did something similar. But it was a 8'x10' wall. One stencil (diy one) for entire wall. A level tool made it much easier. Took me days to do it. But everybody loves it and can't believe I had the patience for it.
I’ve been looking for a diy just like this ! Love the finished product, though it looks tedious, it’s so worth it. Great idea with the cardboard template!
I used to do a method very similar to this full time for a living. I went about it a little differently . I came across your post because an old client of mine from 20 years ago contacted me and wants more work done. The business we had sold and I have no idea where ti get the supplies anymore.
This is the first video I’ve seen with the window in place and not laying flat on a table, so that gives me hope for my own window. I absolutely love how yours turned out, it looks amazing. It’s been 11 mths, has the black lines remained in place for you? 🙏 Great job 👍🏻💋
Very nice. I have a side light window next to my door for which I also cannot find a pre-made cling film to fit the 70x10 inch window nor even coming close to matching the door. This may be the perfect solution for my project. It is nice to see a vertical project being completed successfully.
When I saw your inspiration pattern I did not think it was going to enjoy the end result however the changes you made with the very a size from small to large and the frosted and clear with amazing that looks really awesome
This turned out great and I absolutely LOVE the unique design! I have never seen stained glass in that kind of pattern. I think the comcentrated attention to detail is what makes this look really exceptional.😊 19:08
I Have to tell you I could not imagine getting acceptable much less stellar and most importantly, convincing results using these products which I tried to do myself and the past and gave up on choosing instead to disassemble a real stained glass window and using the old lead to glue on to glass. But here your design is superb and you've made the ultimate use of this product. The company should use you as their spokesperson as much as I'm sure you would hate that hahaha. Great job!
Hey Dude! I hadn’t come across your page before, but wanted some inspiration for a DIY stained window. (I was thinking colours and cellophane, but am please I’ve come across your classy take on a bespoke window. Just wanted to say I really enjoyed your vibe and feel super inspired to do something - (and do it properly and with finés!) Your attention to detail shows and you got a great result. Thanks and well done! 🎉
Nice Job. I used this product many years ago to create faux leaded crown glass that resembles bullseye glass. I also created a diamond stained glass effect on some glass cabinet windows by swirlling different colors together. This is a versatile product.
Haha I’m glad I’m not alone! I understand that retail stores cannot realistically carry every product, but I get so frustrated when they can’t stock the items they do carry or don’t choose items that make sense to stock 🤦🏼♂️
I so appreciate the close up camera work and the clear demonstration of the struggles and how you resolved them! Excellent in every way! Ps. Any chance you might sell a printable of your pattern on your website?
Awesome job! I am going to try this instead of commissioning someone to do a custom stained glass in our home. Now that it is a year later how is it holding up? Any issues a year later? Thanks in advance!!!
I used rolls of lead that had a peel and stick back. It worked great and everyone is surprised that it was a diy project. Yours looks great, but might have been easier with the rolled lead. Only downside is side is the width is very narrow, but works well for curves!
This is cool, I sent it to a friend who was wanting to buy some stained glass but she's also crafty so maybe she'll do it. I'm guessing with some food coloring you can get some other colors in it too.
Very helpful… finally one that makes me feel I can do a huge project and make it look realistically like stained glass at 1/50 of the cost haha. Will try to send my finished piece to you when it’s done.
Yay! I’m so glad this was helpful to you! And yes… please let me know how it turns out! 🙌🏻
It looks so good and I do real stained glass! I’m surprised at how real it looks!

I commend you for your patience through this tedious project. You nailed it, absolutely fantastic. Congratulation’s!!!
Thanks Marty! This was a fun one! Thanks for watching and sharing your kind thoughts ❤️
So COOL , no joke for like 3 years i have been searching for a video like this so glad i found your channel😊

I did this and you can't see anything. It's hard to tell if anyone is even moving.
@REISSUED could you use the etching paint on the other side of window for "extra insurance"?
Wow! This window renovation looks amazing. I am impressed with your dedication to the led lines. The clear frosted paint looks so clean and adds personality.
Thanks Gigi! I’m glad you like how it turned out ☺️ Thanks for watching and taking the time to share such lovely words!
You are a excellent instructor. You really get into your tip, that make a big difference..
Thank you !

This was INCREDIBLE! Your vision, attention to detail and patience is just amazing! Well done!
I have done a few projects myself so I really appreciate your attention to detail. That’s what makes you so enjoyable to watch. Amazing job
WoW! You did an incredible job on this window! I love it.
Thank you so much! ☺️
❤loves the modern design interpretated on a vintage feature.
Thanks Irene! ❤️❤️❤️
Looks amazing! You have such patience!

When I think of stained glass I think of COLOR ! But what you did is FABULOUS !
Thanks Joan!
I love how you made this design your own to fit your space. I think it looks fantastic! It looks like real stained glass.
This turned out so beautiful ❤️
You are so sweet and talented 😍
I kinda liked the painting on the window before too but I thought it was very sweet that you said something kind about the artist that did their best to create a solution for that window.

Nice work!
The most helpful faux stained glass video I’ve ever seen! Answered all my question! 🙌🏻🙌🏻
So glad to hear this! Thanks for watching! ❤️
BEAUTIFUL!!!
Stunning, and so inspiring... I haven't purchased the lead lines, but now I'm debating if I should... they make it look so much more real
Thanks! I definitely think you need the lead lines - adds to the look but also makes things way easier. It’s worth it!
Wow, this really came out nice!

it's good how you understand how RUclips works and realised it was a good idea to show some skin ❤

An ocean design sounds tricky! But I believe in you!
The dimension you got with using the different techniques is amazing. I’ll have to check your newer videos to see if it’s held up
Loved the time and patience you had to complete this project. Nice job!!!
Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it!
That window looks absolutely amazing!
Very good looking!!! Thank you for the detailed video!!!!
Hello....one year later. Was just wondering how it has held up? Also...how do you clean it? Can you just use regular Windex on it? It turned out so good! Great job!
You knocked this out of the park! I’m definitely going to try it
Thank you so much! Let me know how it goes!
That's neat. Reminds me of a big scale version of kid crafts we used to do.
Very nice! Being a perfectionist definitely made the difference in the quality.
I did something similar. But it was a 8'x10' wall. One stencil (diy one) for entire wall. A level tool made it much easier. Took me days to do it. But everybody loves it and can't believe I had the patience for it.

Hey there! Everything has stayed in place and looks just like it did right I applied it! So I definitely recommend giving it a shot 👍🏻
Beautiful! I plan to try this with my windows that need a bit more privacy! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for watching! Let me know how it goes for you! 🙌🏻❤️
I did it! It is fabulous!! I have privacy AND a touch of color! I wouldn’t have been as confident in trying this without your video! Thank you! 😊
I'm so happy it worked out for you!@@betreynolds3614
Great job.. fantastic outcome.. well done ❤
Thanks Cheryl!
I’m gonna try it out! My design is more along traditional mission/craftsman style lines but I’m excited to apply your method! Thanks😊
Very nice. I have a side light window next to my door for which I also cannot find a pre-made cling film to fit the 70x10 inch window nor even coming close to matching the door. This may be the perfect solution for my project. It is nice to see a vertical project being completed successfully.

When I saw your inspiration pattern I did not think it was going to enjoy the end result however the changes you made with the very a size from small to large and the frosted and clear with amazing that looks really awesome
I so hear you!
Absolutely amazing! Thanks for sharing. Love your unique style!
Fabulous 💞 I need to do a church-style window portrait so this method may not work for me but it turned out amazing.
This is beautiful! You have the patience to do it Well! I'm gonna look for someplace I could put a stained glass panel like this! nice job!
Oh my gosh, I love this. You've definitely given me the confidence to try my hand at my own 😊
That’s amazing Angela! Thank you for watching! Let me know how your project goes 🙌🏻
Wow 😯. Looks fantastic! Job well done !
Thank you so much, Liz! I’m glad you like how it turned out!
This turned out great and I absolutely LOVE the unique design! I have never seen stained glass in that kind of pattern. I think the comcentrated attention to detail is what makes this look really exceptional.😊 19:08
Fabulous concept and execution !
Wow!!!! Looks amazing & love the design.
Nothing is ever level in an old house, lol 😂
Haha just part of the charm! Thanks for watching!
It's beautiful! Awesome job!! I might try this now. ❤
Really,really nice job. It looks so good.
Going to try this ! Thank you for your time!
Such a beautiful look
❤ I am going to try this on my front door it looks amazing. Well done.
Thanks Sandra! Good luck with your door!
This looks so clean & classic, love it!
I Have to tell you I could not imagine getting acceptable much less stellar and most importantly, convincing results using these products which I tried to do myself and the past and gave up on choosing instead to disassemble a real stained glass window and using the old lead to glue on to glass. But here your design is superb and you've made the ultimate use of this product. The company should use you as their spokesperson as much as I'm sure you would hate that hahaha. Great job!
Beautiful! And you have leftover supplies for future windows and glass cabinet fronts, maybe even the edges and corners of mirrors.
Hey Dude! I hadn’t come across your page before, but wanted some inspiration for a DIY stained window. (I was thinking colours and cellophane, but am please I’ve come across your classy take on a bespoke window.

You did an amazing job on this project. It is gorgeous, and such a wonderful design for the space!
Thank you so much Desiree! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment ❤️
I really enjoy your videos Andrew. They are very well done. And, I like how you represent yourself. Keep up the good work. 😀
Turned out beautiful ❤😊
Nice Job. I used this product many years ago to create faux leaded crown glass that resembles bullseye glass. I also created a diamond stained glass effect on some glass cabinet windows by swirlling different colors together. This is a versatile product.
Wow that sounds amazing! Yeah I really liked the product and have heard from others who have had a good experience as well.
You are one of the most creative people on RUclips! Such a great project, and so unique!
Thanks Jo! I appreciate your support so much ❤️
Your window is AWESOME
I am so with you regarding every word of your rant!! I feel the exact same way and thay trip to Hobby Lobby would have annoyed the crap out of me!!😊
Haha I’m glad I’m not alone! I understand that retail stores cannot realistically carry every product, but I get so frustrated when they can’t stock the items they do carry or don’t choose items that make sense to stock 🤦🏼♂️
I so appreciate the close up camera work and the clear demonstration of the struggles and how you resolved them! Excellent in every way!
Ps. Any chance you might sell a printable of your pattern on your website?
Wow! Turned out great!! Love it❤️😊
Thanks Bonnie!
Your project is beautiful
Fabulous! I will be trying this with my students this year. Teenagers! Hoping for the best! :)
Amazing Andrew!! You are truly a creative genius!
Aw thank you so much Julie! I miss seeing you!
@@REISSUED I miss seeing you too! Let's connect soon.
That's gorgeous
Thank you so much!
OMG, i love you! Absolutely stunning window
Hey thanks Kerry! Glad you love how it turned out. Thanks for watching!
Awesome job! I am going to try this instead of commissioning someone to do a custom stained glass in our home. Now that it is a year later how is it holding up? Any issues a year later? Thanks in advance!!!
I love it! Like you said, the imagery and theme isn't like what you would usually see in a stained glass window, but wow, it works incredibly well!
Super awesome....i want to do this for a transom window
Omg that would be amazing! Do it! 👍🏻
I used rolls of lead that had a peel and stick back. It worked great and everyone is surprised that it was a diy project. Yours looks great, but might have been easier with the rolled lead. Only downside is side is the width is very narrow, but works well for curves!
You had me at "skimp and splurge" 😍
I really like tge end result. Great job!
Thanks Ive been wanting to do this on my windows.
Amazing! Best of luck with your windows!
PHENOMENAL JOB!!!
Thank you so much!
I came across this video and I love this, definitely going to give this a try. Can you provide a list of the materials you used?
This is very cool! Im definitely going to try this. Really enjoyed this 😊
Yay! Let me know how it goes! Thanks for watching!
Wow!!! Turned out amazing!!!
Nicely done! Always great to achieve such handywork oneself! Pearl and Annerien Dana Bay Western Cape South Africa
Thanks so much for watching! And I agree! It feels great to make something special with your own hands!
Thanks for the tips for application.
Of course! Thank you for watching!
Looks great! May I ask how did you clean the brushes?
They came clean just with water since I think the product is water based!
Classy, crisp look!
This is cool, I sent it to a friend who was wanting to buy some stained glass but she's also crafty so maybe she'll do it. I'm guessing with some food coloring you can get some other colors in it too.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing my video! Food coloring is an interesting idea! I haven’t tried that… let me know how it goes!
Heck of a job dude👍🏾
