Your own custom Stained Glass Art
Creating your own stained glass art can be a rewarding and fulfilling. Start by gathering the necessary materials, including coloured glass, a cutting tool and copper foil. Begin with a simple design, sketching your idea on paper before transferring it to your work surface. Carefully cut the glass pieces according to your design, ensuring that edges are smooth for a clean fit. Once the pieces are ready, use copper foil to join them together, securing each section firmly. Finally, consider adding hangers for display. This may sound a little daunting, but with my help, you will soon be creating a stained glass art panel to be proud of.
