Faux Stained Glass Leaf Mobile

There is nothing more beautiful (to me) than fall leaves....except fall leaves that you can enjoy all year long.  A little Crystal Gloss Enamel paint and some plastic and you'll have gorgeous fall leaves dancing on your patio for as long as you want!  Scatter them on your Thanksgiving table or hang them in your window to color the light.  This is a terrific project that the entire family can take part in, too!  Have fun and don't forget to Make Your Mark!

 Hanging in the back yard and dancing in the breeze!

Faux Stained Glass Mandalas

You might know that I'm a huge fan of stained glass and you might also know that sadly, it's the one craft I just can't seem to grasp.  Oh well!  When I really need a stained glass fix I grab my box of Americana Crystal Gloss Enamels and go to town.  So much easier than the real process and for me, just as gratifying. That's right friends, these are not stained glass at all, but permanently painted glass.  The part I like most about this project is that you don't have to be an artist.  Just grab your favorite adult coloring book pattern and use that as your guide.  How fun is that?!  Remember...make art, make messes and always Make Your Mark!

I can't decide where to put them!

They look wonderful sitting in my kitchen window!
