Make Your Own Blank Roundle |
|
|
This video shows you how to make your own glass roundel, complete with a hanger ready for glass painting.
The example shows one made of glass but you can replace the glass with extra thick glass painting film or perspex. You can use the same technique for square and rectangular sun catchers but in these cases you should put two hangers on and then conect a piece of string or chain between the two. You can do this on larger roundels as well if you wish. When it comes to outlining use the adhesive lead as your edge outliner and just use liquid lead in the center. Click Here |
