Found another old window and turned it into a colorful faux agate stained glass piece for my garden.
I also made a version where the back is painted black.....photos below
Watch how easy it is to make here!
To make the agate images look more realistic, I used Allure Glitter in Crystal and painted it in the center of several of the agates. The Glaze coat looks fantastic over the top. Make sure to seal everything perfectly with the Decoupage before you add the resin or it might stain the paper.

    Where can I print or purchase pictures of agates?

  • Sandra Sandra on Aug 31, 2018

    is there anyway to print off the agates without all the background being printed too? Also is there anyway to make the agates smaller?

    I'm totally inspired! How will weather affect it?

    I think this is an excellent craft for my Guides and Pathfinders to do. We could do on a piece of glass and put an attachment to hang picture. right? I presume it would still work. The girls could then hang it in their rooms or give to Mom for Mother’s Day/Birthday or even Christmas.
