We have been working on the Addams Family set for a 5 weeks now. We are just about done with creating our Stain Glass window.
Its a combination of 3 things
- Luan 4x8 sheet
- 2 inch flexible cork stripes
- colored cellophane rolls
In our case we mounted the the luan wall up in the house. The drew out the design for the window. Traced that with the 2 inch wide cork. We used both cork with adhesive and just pre-cut strips.
The drilled pilot holes in the interior where the window panes are. The took Jig saw and cut out the windows pane. From the back side cut and glued the cellophane to the wall.
I think it;s turning out very nice. Going to see if I can attach a photo for you to reference,
Good luck.

If you don't need glass, a cost-effective workaround would be to cut the pattern in a sheet of thin plywood, and use colored tissue paper for the glass panes. We built a light box so we could illuminate ours from behind, and it worked surprisingly well.

Does anyone have some good suggestions for making "stained glass" set pieces? I've looked for ideas online and found a few, but several seem very time consuming.
I would like to make a couple of large arched windows and maybe a large circular window. I know that some hardware stores sell "stained glass" adhesive material. Would this work on plexi-glass?
I also saw that someone used black hot glue on plexiglass to make the outline and then acrylic paint for the individual panels. There is a product available called Gallery Glass, but it gets very mixed reviews.
