Not wanting to waste a single bit, it was a great opportunity to experiment with stained-glass Jello.

Rainbow stained-glass Jello

Of course, you do not need to start with the rainbow Jello cups in order to make stained-glass Jello.

These tasty layered rainbow Jello cubes are excellent to make on purpose.

Switch up the colors to match your theme or use whatever you have on hand.

If you do end up with leftover Jello from a different creation, simply layer what you have into a stained-glass looking jiggly treat.
