Easy, fun, lots of things to do with it. Wish it was cheaper. Check out other products from same manufacturer, also good.

This Gallery Glass stained glass kit is fantastic! The colors are vibrant, smooth, and easy to work with—even for beginners. I love how the paints dry with that realistic stained-glass look, giving simple projects a gorgeous, professional finish. The set comes with everything you need to get started, and the bottles are the perfect size for small to medium crafts. I’ve used it on windows, jars, and picture frames, and every project has turned out beautifully. If you enjoy DIY art or want to try something new, this kit is fun, simple to use, and delivers impressive results. Highly recommend for crafters of all levels!

I am using these window gallery stain glass paints to color glass spaghetti containers to make lamps ad to make clings. I haven't used this product for many years so I am still getting used to it. So far they seem great.

Best paint for glass. Stays on and doesn't wash off. One coat gives a nice translucent look. Two-three coats makes the paint more opaque.

I prefer reading very thorough reviews, so here is my thorough, overkill review: I enjoyed using these glass paints in some of my wedding DIYs. I covered my card box, and decorated the border of my welcome mirror. The only paint that was running out after all that use was the black leading. I wasn't surprised by this, because I actually redid quite a bit of my card box (because I wasn't happy with my color choices, lol) Colors/Mixing The colors are very vibrant when dry. At first they are a lot lighter in color, but dry down a rich and deep color. You can see in my pictures that I have some colors that are not included in this 6 pack, but I only used the provided colors to achieve them. You can either layer colors on top of one another (I really only did this with white to get a more opaque/lighter shade, but I would recommend just mixing your color off the bat), mixing them before pouring, or just mixing directly on the glass. I would strongly recommend mixing a small amount of the color you want to achieve and letting it dry on your glass overnight so you can see the final color. This test swatch can easily be peeled off, and it's better to be safe than have to redo a lot of your work because the color mixture didn't turn out how you expected. I had success mixing my colors into a gradient in several areas as well, but be warned- the red and blue are far more saturated than the yellow, green, and white, so consider adding less of those to your mixture. They show up much more concentrated when the colors dry. Ease of Use I definitely wouldn't say that these paints are the easiest to use, especially the leading. It takes a bit of practice to find what thickness you want or find easiest to work with, but something nice about these is that if you hate it, you can peel it up and try again. Even after applying colors, if you let them dry fully and use a craft knife to cut out the section you dislike, you can peel up just a specific spot instead of taking the whole design off. I did this several times on my card box because I used colors that I didn't like the look of together. Be careful when cutting the leading, it's very stretchy and cut resistant, so you may need to hold the side that you want to remain on the piece down so what you take off doesn't pull at it. Pick the right design I was really happy with the results of my projects, but I will say that I think it is largely because I liked my designs. Pretty colors and neat leading will not a perfectly aesthetically pleasing piece make. I drew all of my designs by hand, and for the clear glass you can tape it to the back to trace over on the front side. On the mirror, I transferred the design using graphite rubbed on the back of my paper and tracing it on top, and then went over it with sharpie so it was easier to see before leading. This was far more tedious than just seeing the design through the back, obviously. If you do not draw much or don't think you can come up with a design you like, I'm sure there are people on Etsy you can buy a template from. Notes/Tips -I found it easiest to apply straight lines in my leading by gently resting the bottle tip on the glass while you pipe. While leading paint is still wet, you can also clean up your lines with a cotton swab or paper towel/toothpick. -Speaking of toothpicks, you can use those to swirl the paint while it dries. This way you can create a color gradient, leave behind a really lovely faux stained glass texture, and even out your color application so it isn't splotchy. -You can also use a toothpick to apply your leading with fine details. On my mirror, the text in the center was first drawn in sharpie, but I went over it with the leading and a toothpick to drag the teeny detailed lines. -I cannot recommend doing a test swatch enough. Do a test swatch. -Simple, but store your leading bottle upside down to make sure you aren't getting air bubbles, and you don't have to shake it to get the paint ready to pipe when you're running low. -After the paint dries, it can be cleaned with glass cleaner (just be gentle on the edges where the leading meets the glass), while any sharpie marks or fingerprints can be buffed away. If you over draw with sharpie, it can be removed if you need, while your dried paint will stay. -Consider your surface. As you can see in my pictures, the colors show up differently on clear glass vs a mirror- because the light will not be able to pass through fully on the mirror, it will appear darker. Consider the density of your color application (and do a test swatch lol) Overall, your real limits when using these paints is your practice and creativity. These paints add a lot of beauty and uniqueness to your projects, and you can really go far with the included colors and amount of paint. It may take a bit of time to get used to it, but I think even beginners can find success using these paints! Also, don't be hard on yourself. If you don't like something, peel it off and try again! Have fun :)
