"This is so pretty. I love stained glass, and this is a fairly inexpensive way to create something to brighten up the room. This is a great craft for classroom projects, and the lamps would be a great addition to fundraisers and craft fairs. I am going to check the stores in my town to see if I can find some of these paints so I can try it with the kids."

"This wreath would be a lovely outdoor Christmas decoration with red and orange colors. I have seen bird seed wreaths available at Christmas time and they can be costly. I love that you can make this one with the ingredients you want to use to get the pretty colors you want. A pretty ribbon is all you need to finish the holiday look."

"The stained glass look is really effective. I had no idea that glass stain even existed. The key to this craft is using the right container (one you can lie flat0 so the paint has time to dry flat. This craft is suitable for adults and older children. There is lots of room for creativity with this one."

"These would make bathtime so much more exciting. You don't even have to use bugs if you don't want to! You can use any small plastic toy. What a wonderful ideas to make baths for younger kids fun."

"This is so cute. I think it would make a pretty decorative chandelier for a baby's nursery or a teen's bedroom. I would have loved something like this when I was younger. Definitely great for princess-themed or fairytale bedrooms!"
