How can I paint glass yellow so light can shine though

craft stores have paint for glass..it dries translucent.

You want to buy actual glass paint, it will color the glass but let light shine through, some will specifically say 'translucent glass paint':

Mix yellow food coloring with school glue that dries clear to get the color of yellow you like. Apply the mixture to the glass using a foam brush type paint applicator and you're good! Inexpensive and you can customize the color.
