The addition of a stain glass window or two to a home gives it a unique look and feel of elegance that it did not have before. Natural lighting that comes through a stained glass window is soft and dispersed throughout the room to create a calming and relaxing atmosphere. Design on a stain glass window can be a hand drawn picture, a favorite photograph, or a painting.
The design can be anything your imagination is capable of dreaming of. Once the decision is made as to what the design will be on the new window it is time to get to work on changing the look of the window.
Once you have set on a design, the next thing to do is purchase a good set of glass cutters that are nice and sharp so each piece of the glass is evenly cut. If you are on a tight budget, you may want to see if you can borrow a set of glass cutters. For the next step, you will want to be sure to make duplicate copies of the drawing so one can be used as the pattern and the other can be used to cut the templates for the various pieces to ensure that they will fit together.
There are many different techniques used to create a beautiful stain glass window. As you gain experience and learn from your home decorating mistakes, you will be able to find the right technique to use as your personal preference.
