Laura Auer: So first, we need to get our windows and I'm from Columbus, Georgia and my favorite place to get things like that, and shop for junk is at Ridge Wrecking. You have a ton of windows to choose from out here, so come on down to make our little project. This is our first one to stain glass, but we may make my table and all kind of other things, so where do you all get your windows?
Male: Well, we get from houses that we wreck and take it for behind. Some other wrecking machines, but the ones we take it for behind, we actually salvage the one that dispose to us, unlimited projects that always delight for when they come and—it’s amazing what they’re doing. That the way I’m impressed.
Laura Auer: And now about how much are those windows?
Male: They run around $5.00 a piece, source—for a project.
Laura Auer: Can’t be that?
Male: Yeah.
Laura Auer: Yes, alright, let’s take a look at some and I even have project that you can make with broken one. So it doesn’t matter if the paints are broken or in there. This is can fabulous.
Alright, I’ll pick this one because —now I'm going to make a wavy pattern with my little pebbles, and there’s a lot of window to work with instead of I didn’t want to have lot of paints, tinges across here. What are they called?
Male: Tinges are good.
Laura Auer: Tinges across because I want to make a pattern, so that’s why I picked just one down in the middle. So I guess we’ll take in this and go pay and.
Male: Yes.
Laura Auer: Alright, let’s get started with those stain glass windows. The items you’re going to need for this project. This is raisin that you can find at your local hobby store. I get it at Michaels because I'm use a Sunday coupon for 40% off. And this is equal to that 50 coats of varnish and some marbles or whatever you want to put on your window paint.
And I'm making mine and a wave pattern because I'm going to put it in my bathroom, and you can make it however you want. You can make daisies on it, or whatever just how—you’ll be creative and let your personality come through and that will be great. But I'm just going to add these last few marbles on mine, and then we’re going to mix up the raisin to make the great stained glass.
So we’re just going to mix these two together to mixture, then you mix it for two minutes, and then you’re going to pour on there. You can put anything in here, don’t just two marbles that’s what I picked. Teenagers would like maybe daisies, and then you’re just going to pour this on top of them and makes some look like they’re floating, or in a kids room, you can maybe have a bag theme, and put a little plastic bags under here and a house. You can do it so many ways.
I’ve seen cars, little match boxcars underneath here and candy, it sealed it in. The stuff is like 50 coats of varnish, so nothing is getting through. And if you happen to get on your hands, have some rubbing alcohol ready. So it’s going to be really cute, and it’s an expensive project that you’ll have forever. And it really looks like stained glass, so—
Okay I think I'm about to finish mixing this, and all you do, this is so easy, I don’t even have to believe it. You just pour it on and it kind of goes everywhere. And you’ll need one pack of this for the window pretty much the whole window and you let this after you do this you let it dry for a day, and the next day it will be ready to hang. And you can just hang it on the wall as wall hanging, I'm going to put our hooks on the top of mine and hang it in a window like a stained glass, and you just smear this on with your very professional tool. I used professional tools all the time.
Okay, now I'm going to take my wet window outside to dry, and I hope that this one doesn’t let a bug get in like my other one that I did because that’s not very good. But anyway remember this is about 50 coats of varnish and you need to let it dry for about 24 hours. Okay, it’s all nice and dry.
So now I'm going to add my hooks so you can hang it on your window. And I’ve already added hook over here but I'm just going to show how to do it. You make sure you drill bit is at least smaller or the same size of your hook because you don’t want it too big. You can find the place you want to do and I'm going to do mine right here. Drill it in. I’ve already pre-drilled and then you just screw your hook in. And like I said I did two of these, so I'm going to hang them together in my bathroom window. And it covers up the whole entire window almost. So there you have it, my hooks are placed and I'm ready to go hang it.
Here we are. I’ve hanged my first window using the same hooks. Actually I put to the top of the window seal with the low chain because I wanted my mine a little bit longer, and hooks in this window like I showed you a minute ago. And then I'm just going to hang it. There you have it, stained glass window art.
