Read leaded windows!! Here is the paper template with the acrylic sheet taped in place. Also pictured is a sharp exacto knife and a strip of golfer tape (real lead) with adhesive backing. With a straight edge, thin strips (approximately 1/32) are cut and laid on the acrylic, following the pattern.
Here is the first side done (on left) and the template on the right. Will need to flip the acrylic over and repeat.
Two completed windows. Almost.
Using "Blacken-It", the lead on the right window has been aged.
The small diamonds are colored by using Sharpies. To give the windows an old fashioned "poured glass" appearance, clear fingernail polish is painted on one side of the acrylic.
