What do people do with stained glass???
Stained Glass Ideas! First Decide What You Want To Do With the Wonderful Stained Glass Creations You are About to Make.
What will you do with all this beautiful stained glass you are going to create? This article will give you a few ideas on what you can do if you put your mind to it.
Randy has done stained glass as gifts. Our 1-year old son received a balloon that we hung in his bedroom and when the light shines in the window it hangs over, it really stands out.
He has done stepping stones that lead from their back porch to their above ground pool. Not one person walked on them without making a comment. He took something drab and made it stand out.
He also did candle holders as gifts for Christmas this year, which went over really well with family. Sure, he could have given everyone a sweater or something boring (sorry if you gave sweaters this year), but the added touch that he made these himself was a favorite amongst our relatives.
There are so many options that only your mind and imagination can stop you. You could do anything around the house including windows or decoratives.
Stained glass windows for a bedroom add beauty and light at the same time. To have the art of stained glass on a bedroom window, choose a stained glass pattern that includes clear glass to contrast the colorful glass used in the design. This allows you to still see out, allow light in, and have the dramatic sparkle of color.
Consider doing a bathroom window that covers the entire window. This allows for
added color and privacy. Can really be neat addition to this area of the home.
Consider the idea of using stained glass over a mirror. The reflection causes an interesting effect. Very different flavor and I thought it would look weird. However, when I saw it in person, I was amazed to what stained glass can really do. Not just for churches, huh?
Use stained glass as sun catchers inside or put them outside to compliment your flowers and landscaping. Perhaps make a sign to welcome visitors.
Utilize your stained glass making skills to put them on front doors or
Kitchen windows. Again, it goes as far as your imagination. Don’t overdo it though as stained glass art in parts of your home make a wonderful addition and compliment other aspects of your home, but doing too much can make your home
look a bit odd. As they say, "everything in moderation."
Use stained glass for a hobby or business to relieve stress, enjoy creating something, make a few dollars from your art, or whatever your goals. Remember it is fun and rewarding to create something that very few people can do well, but many people enjoy observing.
Soon, we will be covering areas such as tools needed, how to learn this art step by step, costs, time, provide some free patterns, and we are going to start a newsletter to keep you up to date on the best stained glass information out there.
Til next time,
Joe and Randy
