In reply to Arif. I've only used opaque plastic, so I don't know, Arif. So sorry!

Hello,
Does it work with acetate paper, plastics, PVC or acrylic sheets?
Cause I want transparency.

In reply to Leila Meadows. I'm not sure I understand what process you'd be using to transfer them to glass, Leila. Can you elaborate?

Hello:
I wanted to thank-you for your idea with markers. I have been trying to find a way of creating a cover for my book that I have written. The stain glass idea works well for what I am trying to do.

I have done this with the extra laminating film that you get when you run paper thru. It’s a good way to recycle.

I wonder what would happen if you dropped alcohol onto the photo paper after coloring? Like with the bookmark project? My daughter and I are working on home-made gifts so I may have to try it and see!

Thanks for the great idea! I have 300 sheets of Royal Brites glossy photo paper that has some kind of flaw in it; smudges, when it goes through the printer. Must be old or an off brand. Anyway, my school wanted to get rid of it and I selvaged it, hoping I could use it for an art project. Looking forward to trying your project next school year. (c=

Love this idea. The art department at my daughter’s elementary school did a similar project on Shrinky Dink paper. They hung several of their designs from a piece of painted wood, turning their artwork into beautiful sun catchers/wind chimes.

THanks. Cool idea. I also found the following for removing permanent markers (I couldn’t post the image, so will just re-type): Clothes – use hand sanitizer; Walls – use toothpaste or hairspray; Wood – use rubbing alcohol; Carpet – use white vinegar; Furniture – use milk; Whiteboard – use dry erase marker or pencil rubber; Ceramic or glass – use 1 part toothpaste with 1 part baking soda.

Dabbing rubbing alcohol on cotton clothing will remove Sharpie and then you just launder as usual – found it from this website – http://www.wikihow.com/Remove-Permanent-Marker – I needed to figure out after getting a nice blue streak on my shirt from someone not capping a Sharpie while at work…..BTW LOVE this idea! I now have another reason to use my stash of Sharpies for lovely art!

You could print pages from coloring books on it to color with the sharpies also. One of those stained glass pattern books would make pretty designs.

In reply to Kathy. Not at all, Kathy. The ink dried immediately.

Did you have problems with it smearing? Did you have to allow drying time mid-project to avoid that?

That was a wonderful idea. We will do that for Father’s Day or their anniversary.
