To Transformed Your Clear Glass Jewelry Box into Stained Glass Art You Will Need:

Peel and stick lead

Clear glass Jewelry Box

Stained Glass Paint

Paint Brushed

Scissors

To start this craft project you need to decide on a pattern. Your stained glass pattern will determine what stained glass paint colors you need to buy.

Measure the clear glass Jewelry Box you are going to transform. Mark this space out on a piece of drawing paper and sketch out your design. If you have markers I suggest coloring in areas the colors you would like them to be. The more specific you are in the planning the less room for mistakes.

Once you have established your stained glass design you need to transfer it to your Jewelry Box. I like to tape the sketch to the inside of the Jewelry Box so that it shows through the front. You can fill in just like a coloring book!

Painting the stained glass is the next step. Use a natural bristle artist paintbrush to fill in your colors. Work up to the edges in each block of color. You will be covering the rough edges with peel and stick lead, so you don't have to make them absolutely perfect.

Once your stained glass is completely painted you need to let it dry complete. While your paint is drying your can work on your peel and stick lead.

Remove the sketch from the back of the Jewelry Box and use this to cut out your peel and stick lead.

This is a great way to make your stained glass look built in to the Jewelry Box .

Once you lead is cut you can install it. Carefully apply your peel and stick lead over all of the edges of the paint, just like real stained glass. You wan these peel and stick lead pieces to be on the outside of the jewelry box, just like the paint.
