How is stain glass made?
Use a piece of wood the size you would like the picture frame and cut out the size you would prefer for the picture in the middle. Typically you can find a plain picture frame at your local craft school just for this use. Glue each piece of glass on the frame leaving gaps in-between for the grout. Let glue fully dry. Then pour grout all over and wipe excess off. Once finished filling the grouts use a rag and wipe clean the glass. Let grout dry some then go back and use a damp wipe to fully clean each piece of glass, before the grout dries completely.
