Looks like a fun project!

The best way I've learned to make it is with school glue (that dries clear) and food coloring. Add 2-3e of drops of food coloring to a tbsp of glue and mix.

Hello the following links might be helpful.

The links below will detail tell the ratio and instructions to achieve faux stained glass projects. I have not personally done this project. I have used a commercial leading in the past that must look pretty similar.

I hope this helps!

How to make the leading

Take the bottle of white glue and dump just a small bit out so that there is room to add color to it. Add about a teaspoon of black acrylic paint and stir it with a wooden dowel. Add enough black paint to make a solid color. You will be surprised, but it doesn’t take a ton of paint to change your white glue to black. Then put the glue nozzle back on. The glue is now ready for the next step.

4 ounces white glue

If this is indoors, that should be fine but if you're putting it outdoors, you'll need to find paint that will work outside. For indoors you could try glass paints.

Watered down acrylic paint makes a stained glass look. You can also use glue + water + food coloring like in this project https://www.charlestoncrafted.com/diy-sea-glass-ornaments/

This may work if you have some clear glue: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nu2k83yW8Jg

Hi Deborah. You can make a stained glass looking sun catcher with glue and acrylic paints. Mix black paint with Elmer's glue. This mixture will become the lines that separate the colors. It's best if you can put this mixture back into the glue bottle because the pointed tip gives you more control. It will be thicker than just normal paint. Draw your lines on the sun catcher and allow to dry completely. Then fill each area with acrylic paint. I would practice on a piece of cardboard to get the hang of it first. Good luck Deborah. I hope your holidays are happy and healthy.

You would probably need to add just a dot of paint to the glue or it will be too dark.

Hi Deborah, here is a quick recipe for your paint,

Squeeze about 1/2 – 1 tbsp. of glue into a container and then add some food coloring. I used 2-3 drops of color for each. Stir the glue and colors together and stir in glitter glue to any of the colors you want.
