45 Simple Stained Glass Patterns
The colorful patterns of stained glass earned it a special place in the world of art and architecture. Throughout most of its over-thousand years of history, stained glass has been associated with glass panels and windows of significant constructions such as churches.

I am searching for the stained glass alphabet pattern shown above, where there are flowers mixed in the letters – can you tell me where I can find the pattern?
Thank you very much!
Beautiful, Thank you
Hi,
Can you suggest where I can buy the glass for these projects? Home Depot has them in bigger dimensions. Any place where I can get them in smaller sizes?
Hobby Lobby in my area sells glass and supplies…glass sizes are about 12 x 12…but check with your local store to see if they carry glass and supplies!
Some of those patterns have some pretty hard angles to cut, looks like a few of them are only possible with a ring saw.
Thank you, Some of these are definitely possible for me.
wtf this is cool
Thank you for the patterns. I already picked one out to make.
