Stained glass...the Crayola way!

I have to admit, these stained glass markers are really cool.  They cost about $5.00 a pack.  We only bought one pack because I am skeptical of all "new" craft inventions. They often cost too much to continue using (you have to continuously buy special paper for the color explosion markers), or just get boring.  These markers?  WINNER!  They are awesome.


The concept is pretty simple.  The ink from the marker crystallizes as it dries.  You must use them on a glass surface.  They are completely erasable and do no damage to windows.  In my book these things are just as awesome as sidewalk chalk.

The markers wash off very easily but you must make sure you wash them off completely.  Little smears will just result in spreading the marker around creating larger crystal sections.  No need to use soap, just a good, wet rag.


Have fun!
