How to Fake Stained Glass Windows in Your Doll House or Room Box

These easy to make windows will add beauty to your home's windows.

What You Will Need:

* Clear Deluxe Weight Vinyl
* Sharpie Markers Or Gallery Glass Paints

How To Make Them:

There are two methods to make these, you can choose which works best for you, or you can do both. The first method is for windows that already have a design printed on them.

We will be working with the already printed design on your window. In my case this will be the diamond crosshatched design on the top portion of my door's windows.

1. Take your clear vinyl and cut a length larger than the size of your window. In general you will want it to at the very least have a border that you could tape or glue it into place without having to glue directly to your window.

2. Lay the vinyl over the front of the window and draw out the design over the clear vinyl. I used a black ultra thin sharpie marker for this step.

3. After you have successfully traced the design you wish to color in to the vinyl, remove it from the window and place on a firm surface. I'd suggest either a window or a piece of white paper on a table.

4. Take your Gallery Glass or markers and color the design as you wish.

5. Let dry.

6. Place behind your window to assure that it lines up correctly. If it's all lined up right, you may either neaten up your coloring or darken it if you so choose. If it looks fine you are all done and ready to glue or tape it to the back of your window.

The second type of stained glass window is slightly different. Instead of using the pre designed windows, we will be making our own designs. These can be either a full window design or one with a frame around it designed to hang as a decoration within the windows.

1. Choose a design that either appeals to you, or your décor. You can use clip art found online, stickers, or draw your own design.

2. Trace it onto the vinyl.
3. Color it in as you see fit.

4. Let dry.

5. Touch up if needed and hang.

6. If you will use the framed window add a frame of black or metal tone cardstock around your "window." Glue or tape it in place
