Designing Your Own Pattern

Designing your own pattern is not as difficult as it might sound. You can choose to draw your own pattern with paper and pencil or you can use computer generated software.

Hand Drawing Patterns

If drawing is one of your strengths, you can draw your own pattern.

If you have a picture, you can enlarge it to the desired size and then trace it.

Which ever method you use, be sure to add lines (solder lines) as glass does not like to make sharp bends and turns.

Stained Glass Software

One of the more popular stained glass software is "Glass Eye" by Dragonfly.

It comes with over 300 ready-made patterns and allows you to modify, combine, scan or design a pattern.

I have used this softwarre for many years and like it's ease and flexibility.
