    large sheets of glass
    magic marker
    powdered glass (frit)
    sifter

    2. Draw design on with marker. Reverse glass and trace over design. Turn glass over and wipe off first design.

    3. With a tiny sifter and other tools, sprinkle the powdered glass (frit) into design areas like doing a paint by numbers painting.
