And now it is time to have to put in practice what you have learned.
You have to make three stained-glass objects: One of them with the printed photo, sticked with white liquid glue (as the youtube video).
Another of the containers (the bottle, the glass or the jar) must be done, drawing and painting the chosen plant using nail polish.
On the third container, stick the real plant you could find when you went outdoors. You can use the same technique You have used to stick the photo (youtube previous tutorial).
