The craft kits were called “sun-catchers”. They were small soft metal frames that you melted tiny beads of translucent plastic in (in your oven) and made little faux stained glass windows.
They sell kits still at your local HObby Lobby. Also i seen some homeade kits to make on http://www.craftster.org
