How to give a Glass effect to text? Here we tried to show you in simple steps.
Lets get started…

STEP-1

Let’s start by creating a new document. Set the dimensions of the canvas to 900×1200 px.

STEP-2 (Creating gradient background)

Double click on the Background layer to access Layer Style and add Gradient Overlay as I shown

Arrange colors in gradient Editor as shown and click OK

Background will look like this after adding Gradient Overlay

STEP-3 (Adding cloudy texture)

Create a new layer and set the background color BLACK and foreground color WHITE in the bottom of tool palate, then go to Filter > Render > Clouds. Change the blend mode to Overlay and reduce opacity to 50%.

STEP-4 (Creating glassy effect)

Create a new layer and Type your text with Horizontal Type Tool (T). I have chosen font Cooper Std. Size 225 pt.

Double click on the text layer to access Layer Style and make changes as shown

Then add inner shadow as shown below

Next add Outer Glow

Next add Bevel and Emboss

Next add Gradient Overlay

Then add Stroke

After adding all above styles the effect will look like this.

STEP-5 (Arranging text)

Duplicate the text layer and place it in such a way one overlays the other to witness the glassy effect

Now add your own text, I go with “GLASS”

STEP-6 (Create shadow)

Create a new layer, draw oval shape and go to Select > Modify > Feather (Alt +Ctrl + D) give feather radius 10 pix then fill it with BLACK color and keep this layer below the text layers.

STEP-7 (Creating mirror effect)

Duplicate all the text layers and merge them. Then with transform selection (Ctrl +T) flip vertically and place it below the original text as I shown.
