Hi,
crystal painting is very simple. crystals are available in Raja thread shop. they look like sugar crystals.
Steps to do.
1. take a clean glass . place ur design under it.
2. trace the outline with stainglass outliner.
3. apply fevicol diluted with a little water where ever u want crystal.(no neessaril he whole pic)
4. remove the excess crystal by inverting the glass.
5 When dry apply solvent based stain glass paints. the crystals will absorb the paint, apply the paint where u desire allow to dry

I have one pic which i am attaching .I am not entirely satisfied as there are some flaws but it will give u an idea
happy trying
