• Print, Cut or Trace the Design

• Choose Your Glass

Select colours and textures that match your vision. You can also use leftover or scrap glass to reduce waste and create something truly unique.

• Cut the Glass

Carefully cut your glass pieces to match the pattern. Take your time and ensure each piece fits perfectly into the design.

• Grind the Edges

Use a glass grinder to smooth out the edges of your cut glass pieces. This step ensures that each piece fits together neatly and removes any sharp or uneven edges.

• Apply Copper Foil

After cutting and grinding, wrap each piece of glass with copper foil. This step helps the solder adhere to the glass and ensures a clean, secure bond between pieces.

• Apply Flux

Before soldering, apply flux to the copper-foiled edges of your glass pieces. Flux is essential to help the solder flow smoothly and adhere properly to the copper foil.

• Solder and Assemble

Using a soldering iron, carefully solder your pieces together, following the pattern. This step brings your stained-glass project to life, connecting each piece with strong, durable solder lines.

• Polish and Finish

Clean your stained glass to remove excess solder, flux residue, and any unwanted marks. Apply a patina if desired, and finish with polishing to give your piece a professional shine.

• Display Your Work

Enjoy your custom stained-glass creation by displaying it in your home, gifting it to loved ones, or selling it as part of your craft business.
