Create Faux Stained Glass Sun catchers with Laser Cut Wood, Crushed Glass, and Resin
How to create Easy DIY Faux Stained Glass Heart With flower Sun Catcher Art. Looking for a stunning DIY project that blends art, light, and texture? Faux stained glass suncatchers are the perfect way to bring a pop of color and sparkle into your space—without the complexity of traditional glasswork!
At The Makers Map, we make it easy by providing laser-cut wood outlines that are designed specifically for faux stained glass crafts. With just a few simple materials—crushed glass, resin, and a little creativity—you can transform these wood cutouts into gorgeous sun catchers that mimic the look of stained glass.
Step by step instructions to create faux stained glass:
- Start with a laser-cut design – Choose from a wide range of shapes like cardinals, hummingbirds, crosses, hearts, flowers and more.
- Paint or stain the wood cutout – Before assembling your piece, add paint or stain to the wood to give it a finished, polished look. Let it dry completely.
- Add paper transfer tape to the back – Stick transfer tape to the back of the wood cutout. This helps hold the crushed glass in place and keeps the resin from leaking through.
- Add color with crushed glass – Fill each section with your choice of colored crushed glass to replicate the look of traditional stained glass.
- Add Resin – Carefully pour clear resin over the crushed glass sections, making sure everything is covered and evenly coated.
- Let it cure, then peel the tape – Once the resin has cured fully, gently peel off the paper transfer tape from the back.
- Add a chain to hang and display – Finish your suncatcher by attaching a chain or ribbon and hanging it in a sunny window to catch the light beautifully.
