I found some lovely pieces made by Susan Lenz "In Box" Stained Glass on Pinterest and just had to try it. I found a tutorial Susan had produced and followed the instructions. I didn't keep to the exact way Susan had in the notes. I didn't use chiffon pieces but rather a whole piece of fabric which I overlay on top of the velvet. It worked but I played it safe and think next time I'll tear strips and lay these over instead. I also put jewels on just for added bling
I was pleased with the results
