In high school, I started a really elaborate stained glass project. Mine had the most potential. I say this because it was more awesome than any beautiful thing I ever thought I could make. I was stunned at my own vision.

It was a seaside landscape and some of the pieces were teeny tiny. Everyone else decided they wanted to do a stained glass cat or tree or flag or something else that’s dumb. I had an ENTIRE LANDSCAPE.

The problem was that I got sidetracked and I never finished it.

I even went back to school a few days after I had already graduated and I still couldn’t finish it.

Thanks to Martha Stewart, I can rid you all of this same deep seeded self-disappointment with something that kind of looks like stained glass but is infinitely easier to make!

I’m just going to include an instructional video that will outline how

A) Difficult

B) Time-consuming

C) DANGEROUS

stained glass projects can be.
