Looking for stained glass projects to make?
There is a wide variety of different types of stained glass projects you can choose from.

Stained Glass Panels
A stained glass panel is basically a one dimensional art work that is usually hung on a wall or in front of a window. It can also be inserted into an existing opening or cabinet. When hung in front a light source (window), the glass seems to come alive.

The design of a panel is unlimited. Any subject may be represented by using different colors of glass as well as textures. The focus of these panels can range from nature scenes, cars, geometrics, southwestern, religious, quilts, holidays, etc. Your choices are unlimited. If you can see it or dream it, you can build it.

Beautiful stained glass projects can include logos which can add an inspirational touch to your office or business.

The shape of a panel can be round, oval, oblong, square or any other shape that fits your need. Stained glass panels are very versatile and can easily become the center point of attention.

Panels may be displayed anywhere within your home or business.

In essence, stained glass panels are all about tangibly creating what is in your mind and allowing others to experience that part of you!

Many varieties of screens are available and can include geometrics or other scenes similar to stained glass panels. Fireplace screens can be custom designed to meet your specific needs.

Stained Glass Cabinets

A stained glass cabinet door insert can be used to update or provide a design element to your kitchen. Contrasting the wood of the cabinets with the coloring and design of the new insert makes that cabinet and its surrounding area come alive. Built-ins are another area where stained glass inserts are used.



Stained Glass Quilts

Mosaics
Mosaics are an artwork that can be applied to almost any surface or object. Mosaics are created by choosing a pattern and then cutting and applying usually smaller and tinier pieces of scrap glass to create a specific shape or design. Additionally, these pieces are adhered to the object of your choice and then grouted. Some ideas for making additional mosaics include a stained glass stepping stone or decorative stained glass garden accessories.
