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.
