Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Sketch simple outlines of Christmas village scenes on paper, including houses, trees, and snowflakes.
2. Cut a clear plastic sheet to your desired size for the stained glass panel.
3. Tape your paper sketch under the plastic sheet to use as a guide.
4. Using the permanent black marker or black acrylic paint with a fine brush, carefully trace the outlines of your village design on the plastic sheet to create leading lines.
5. Let the black outlines dry completely.
6. Fill in the sections between the black lines with translucent acrylic paint to mimic stained glass colors. Use thin layers for better light transmission.
7. Allow the paint to dry fully; apply additional coats if needed to enhance color vibrancy.
8. Once dry, carefully remove the tape and paper guide.
9. Mount your stained glass village on a window using suction cups or tape to catch the light and display your festive creation.
