DIY Faux Stain Glass Light Cover

As usual while remodeling my kitchen my taste far exceeded my budget. Lighting can be so expensive.  Fortunately my creative gene kicked in. This was the final product.
 

I had already put bead board on the ceiling trying to achieve a farm house feel. My kitchen had these old ugly florescent lighting. I antiqued the frames then bought some new pieces of the plastic that goes in them. Using a stencil, foam brush & acrylic paint I completed the colored areas. Then for the iron piping I used fabric puff paint to outline the colors and create separate panes.
(fabric paint needs to dry overnight)
 
This was a cheap, quick & easy project. Can't wait to try it on something else.
