Here is a collection of stained glass pieces that I have made over the years and gave to family and friends. They have been nice enough to send me pictures of the pieces as they are hanging in their house, so we can show them on here!
This is a fairly simple step if you have the right tools!
In this video, I will show you the tools that I use and how I apply the copper foil to the glass pieces.
After you have decided on a pattern and have chosen your glass, the next step is cutting out your glass pieces.
In this video, we will go over glass placement and cutting techniques. Afterward, I will give you a quick demonstration of how to grind your glass pieces.
I made this dreamcatcher for my granddaughter using a bright yellow background with purple, light blue, med green and amber glass for the center.
The next picture was taken a couple of hours later in the same location, so you can see how the light changes the colors of the glass.
I made this piece several years ago and gave it to my son-in-law.
My daughter Sherry found a picture on Pinterest of an old 5-panel door with each of the panels painted. She started thinking of ideas to insert stained glass into each of the panels instead of painting them. After searching on the internet for inspiration and not finding anything that was similar, we decided to just make our own! Since the panels are running horizontally, we quickly realized there are fewer horizontal patterns available than vertical! We did, however, find several patterns we liked in Anna Croyle’s book “Doorways, Windows & Transoms Stained Glass Pattern Book”. We enlarged the patterns to the dimensions we needed for each opening.
Once the door is finished, it will be used as a pantry door.
We will post a Part 2 video once we have completed each panel and the door itself has been refinished.
Here is a picture of Anna’s book if you need ideas for borders or windows. She has some great design ideas.
This is a project I started four years ago when we were building our new home. I wanted to have a barn door between my office and the living room and I knew one made from stained glass would be a great addition to our home.
In this video, I will go over the process of design and putting it all together.
I would also like to give recognition to Beth Erbe of Cutting Edge Glass Creations in Farmington, AR for her help in designing the piece.
In this video, I will show you how to solder your stained glass pieces together.
In this video, we will show you the different textures, colors, and designs of glass. This is not a complete list since there are so many different kinds of glass available. These are just a few that I have on hand from my collection. We’ll also show you some of my collection that I have displayed in my sunroom.
Over the years I have come to depend on certain products that I use every day and would highly recommend to anyone who is interested in getting started in stained glass. Below is a list of the products I use.
