How do you make stained glass?
The process of making stained glass is easier than it looks. As long as you have the necessary tools: glass, a glass cutter, cutting oil, pliers, copper foil, soldering iron, solder, flux, grinder, and a lightbox, you will master the art of stained glass in no time. The first step to making stained glass is creating a pattern. Next you will cut the glass and grind down the rough edges. Lastly, comes foiling and soldering.
