Who this list is for
This supply list is made for crafters planning to make two faux stained-glass suncatcher panels using translucent window film. If you want removable, decorative panels without working with real glass, this kit fits your project. It’s ideal for renters, families, or anyone looking for a low-commitment window art project.
How to use this list
Begin by cleaning your window glass thoroughly with glass cleaning spray and lint-free cloths. Lay out your printed geometric templates and secure them with painter’s tape. Use the self-healing cutting mat, craft knife, and metal ruler to cut translucent window film sheets to shape. Attach clear static-cling backing film to your panels before applying the colored film pieces. Use the faux leading strip roll to outline shapes, smoothing each section with a plastic squeegee. Keep a spray bottle handy for misting the window during installation to reduce bubbles.
What to skip
Skip real glass tools—this project is only for film. Don’t use paper towels for cleaning; they shed lint and can leave streaks. Avoid permanent adhesives or glues, since the films are designed to be removable. Don’t use regular scissors for detailed cuts; a craft knife on a cutting mat is much safer and cleaner for edges.
What is on this list
You’ll need 8 translucent window film sheets for color, 2 clear static-cling backing film sheets, and a faux leading strip roll for outlines. Glass cleaning spray and lint-free cloths prep your surface. A plastic squeegee helps smooth out bubbles. For cutting, use a craft knife, self-healing cutting mat, and a metal ruler. Printed geometric templates guide your design, and painter’s tape holds things in place. A spray bottle is included for easy application. Cross off what you already have in your craft supplies.
After you finish
Once your panels are installed, wipe away any fingerprints with a clean lint-free cloth. Save leftover film and leading strips for touch-ups or future projects. Store templates and tools together for next time. If you move or redecorate, peel off the panels and clean the window—no residue left behind.
