stained glass supplies for beginners ✷ what you need to start!

[@nazguleh]

finally some detailed yet easy to follow instructions from an artist who knows how to make a lovely piece!! ✨

[@AmayaJade]

thank you!! 💞

[@itdjazzy]

Awesome work! But I suspect not enough precautions are taken against lead dust. As someone who has had lead poisoning by soldering I hope you're using decontamination cleaning agents and sprays for your workplace and don't touch surfaces you've soldered on with bare hands - especially since you wear rings and have long nails. Lead removal hand soap & wipes are great. Consider dust-wipe testing of your studio area to be safe (Schneider labs has a good easy kit). And blood testing for lead (none should be detected - if any is, you're being exposed unnecessarily) is a must. Stay safe!!

[@sazjh]

Is it possible to use lead-free solder? Would that be much safer?

[@itdjazzy]

@@sazjh Lead free solder can contain other heavy metals like antimony. As well, the flux fumes can be more toxic and it can be harder to work with. Doing your research on the composition and proper handling of the solder, proper ventilation and PPE is still key. I stopped soldering entirely due to these concerns and not having an adequate space for doing so (I live in an apartment and don't have a dedicated isolated "work room", and additionally would not want to expose unsuspecting future tenants to anything), but if I had to, I would probably choose lead free.

[@adellegreguire4098]

Thank you so much for this comment! This is very valuable information to know, especially beginners.

[@stephen1896]

The video I'd like to see is one that shows recommended tactics for best laying out your pattern on glass to both make cuts feasible and also preserve as much glass as possible. I made a pattern and soon will start cutting it (my first time) but I'm tight on funds and want to minimize my glass consumption with some careful planning.

[@TammyKoo-j9d]

Agree! It would be very useful

[@AmayaJade]

I will make sure to go over that when I make a video on glass cutting!

[@stephen1896]

Thank you. ​@@AmayaJade Have a wonderful week!

[@raccoontrashpanda1467]

Print the pattern onto a piece of paper, cut the pieces out, and arrange them onto your glass. You can move the paper about as much as you want to see how they fit together and minimize gaps between pieces before you glue it down and cut the glass.

[@Ellaviathan]

@@AmayaJade Can you make a video showing how you make your stickers?

[@Gnarly_Burger]

I’ve always wanted to try stained glass and have found your videos to be the most comforting and accessible! Appreciate all the work you put into sharing what you’ve learned. I’d love to see a video of how you create/print your patterns.

[@AmayaJade]

I’m so glad you find them helpful! I will definitely make a video all about patterns!

[@julialaborde8886]

What paper you use that have tak and stick to the glass. I use to do stain glass. I recommend you the safety glasses tha are close like a scuba mask. The tiny glasses gets in to the clothes and hair and layer can fall in to the eye. Never happens to me until one day I felt a glass in my eye. Wasn’t funny at all. There’s a fume extractor also for indoors and now the solder wire don’t have lead I think. Things change a bit. There’s is a water glass cutter that is a state of the art. It have a diamond string. For bigger pieces you use lead canals. For windows and stuff. Have a good luck with your endeavors. Look really pretty. It’s nice see new young people doing stain glass. Protect your lungs.

[@poppysdaddi]

i absolutely adore stained glass pieces and i buy them whenever i see them, but lately i’ve been thinking more and more about making my own pieces. i honestly felt overwhelmed thinking about it because i wasn’t sure where to begin. this video helped me so much!!! i appreciate you! ❤

Brilliant video and the editing is superb. Not just talking about the supplies but showing what exactly it is used for and how is really great for beginners. Thank you.

[@KimiPetri]

Thank you so much for this. I’ve seen ppl making stained glass but no one explains how, and with what. Thank you so much for not gate keeping. 😊 Your work is beautiful!!

[@AmayaJade]

Thank you!! 💞

[@sleepyinsomniac-u-]

Thank you sooo much for putting captions!! Love the extra bit of effort for those of us who can’t follow along with just audio

[@BettyKateB]

I am so happy I stumbled upon this! I have been a huge stained glass fan forever. And now seeing that I could maybe learn this hobby is so inspiring! But buying the supplies seems very expensive for the start at least

[@Cecikim100]

Yes, it is expensive but if you are going to use it a lot of time is a good investment.

[@J.W.Chovan]

Thank you for this detailed tutorial. I already have a lot of hobbies but I did like doing this one when I was in elementary school

[@nicolenardin149]

POOKIE THIS IS THE EXACT VIDEO I WAS LOOKING FOR

[@mostevilsword]

Excellent info and great video, but one minor thing i noticed from my (limited) experience in woodworking. Generally you don't want to wear gloves around spinning machinery as it can be a safety hazard. The glove can get caught in the bit and at best ruin your piece, and worst cause an injury. that's the one thing I'd maybe not do

[@smoothbrain8519]

Came down to the comments to make the same warning. Gloves and spinning machinery are a significant hazard. Stay safe out there yall !

[@lilanimesan]

With the sander, how do you sand small corners? What do you wipe your glasd down with? Do you have to etch the glass so that the foil will stick? What width of glass is best for beginners? How does cheap glass compare to more expensive glass? Also what tools do you recommend for someone in the eu?

[@usmilwife]

Your channel is the only channel I need. I had to delete all the other channels that had to do with stained glass. Thank you!!! 🥰🥰🥰

[@mcegypt20]

Well I just commented on another video saying I didn’t know where to start with the hobby and I guess you just answered my question! 😆

[@cassidyjewel3639]

Tysm for making this!! I’ve always adored stained glass. I only recently looked into actually making it, but this is the first video I’ve seen!! I’ve seen some pretty comprehensive articles/blog posts but the video format is so much nicer!!

[@twisterjohnson1007]

This is gold. Thank you. Lovely leaf creation too!

[@blikbiznut]

This video is really usefull and great ! Thank you for all the details. At the moment, I'm thinking about working on stained glass so this video encourages me a lot to take the plunge.

[@koma_]

This is one of the most beautiful crafts i've seen so far. One day, i'll definitely start doing this too but unfortunately I don't have the money for it atm. I am really into drawing both digital and traditional and my parents are both also great at arts and crafts so it's definitely in my genes haha

[@melindagibson8606]

Fantastic video! This was the best instruction tutorial for anything I have ever seen! Great job and thank you!❤

Hi! I would like to get into stained glass making and was wondering what the price breakdown would be for all of these materials? (: ty for the nice beginner video!!

[@TammyKoo-j9d]

Dear Amaya, thank you for your video! Very informative and tastefull made.

[@melissasavard5173]

Well I cheaked and it will cost 430 canadian $ to start this hobby

[@appletree13]

Yeah...why are all the cool hobbies so expensive 😭 Tho tbf if you take commissions it would start to pay for itself eventually

[@powerpuff4ever]

($315 USD) Honestly much lower entry cost than I was expecting

[@sabrinam.2503]

Look at Harbor Freight, Temu, and other places for tools/glass. Plus, once you have the tools, they last a long time. Of course you'll have to reorder glass, solder, copper foil tape, when needed. This artist probably gets credit when you use her links, and it will help her channel. But you would not have found your passion to try if it were not for her videos. She offers a lot of expertise, and good knowledge for anyone starting out.

[@Jen99576]

Thanks so much for sharing! Your work is beautiful. Did you teach yourself this process, or learn some other way? I want to get into it but classes so are expensive on top of all the necessary equipment. Thanks!

[@Cecikim100]

It is a good question! I learned in a public school almost for free. In my experience, it is better start in a worshop, so you can use the tools there.

[@kylenguyen200]

Okay so I'm not saying I will but _hypothtically_ if the price for the glass grinder is way too steep for someone would it work to just put a hole in a table and mount a rotary tool with a glass bit on it so the bit is peeking out of the table hole? How dangerous would that be? Will I for sure die? Asking for a friend.

[@360revolucion8]

So the silver from the soldering is always going to be the part of your end result? I like the way the copper looks on some of your pieces. There's no way having copper (color not necessarily metal) or bronze on staibed glass?

[@AmayaJade]

Yes but there’s patina that can be applied after to change the finish of the solder!

[@HRUNE-k5p]

Beautiful ❤️

[@panicathedogpark]

This is super cool, I never thought of stained glass as a hobby I could do myself! How expensive is stained glass making compared to other crafting hobbies? Also, how hard is it to create 3D shapes with stained glass, like on a lamp and things like that?

[@Ocelama]

Do you use the tip tinner befor or after using it to solder? Or both?

[@AmayaJade]

Both! You can use it whenever the iron isn’t holding onto solder/needs cleaned!

[@lionlikelauren]

Hi, thanks for this great video!! I'm very interested in pursuing this as a new hobby. Quick question: I was at my local craft store the other day (it's Michael's so I guess they're not local lol) and I saw a scoring tool called a "TOYO pattern blade pistol grip supercutter with TAP wheel technology". Are you familiar and, if so, thoughts? Thanks for your time!

[@lionlikelauren]

@AmayaJade :)

[@pinkbunbuns]

I so want to try this! What is that tool you used to smooth down the copper foil?

[@Rachel_Shur]

[@braynjohnson4302]

My only question is how loud the grinder is? I have roommates and live in an apartment complex but would love to try to learn how to do this.

[@AutumnViolets13]

Soo cool! ❤

[@larkincook3101]

Hi! I have two questions. Are you always able to use your finger as a guide when scoring the glass? I saw that there is a guard, but I wondered if it was easy to slip. Also do you make your own patterns or do you have any recommendations for pattern making/sourcing?

[@AmayaJade]

I make my patterns and I’m working on a video going over how I do that. As for scoring the glass, I don’t ever have an issue slipping & you can always use the opposite hand to guide it!

[@Luciver]

thank you so much for this helpful video! unfortunately, the soldering iron you linked is sold out-- any other recs?

[@itdjazzy]

If you do, it's quite expensive and be careful of the solder. I used to solder with lead containing solder and developed lead poisoning.

[@TammyKoo-j9d]

Amaya, please advose: do copper and solderind add volume on the edges? Shall i (when gronding) make pieces like 1-2 mm less on the edges?

[@gonrogue519]

How much would the parts be in total

[@whynot07]

I’d like to see the place you make your pieces. I think this can’t be done inside of a house, can it (especially if there is a toddler)? Also, I’d like to know how you make your designs? If I take a course would it be possible for me to reach out and find beautiful designs or should I learn to design my pieces?

[@yeeyee1317]

How would you use a gel flux? Is liquid always best for stained glass?

[@AmayaJade]

It’s up to personal preference. I’ll be switching to gel because it dries slower & cleans up easier than liquid from what I’ve seen!

[@stephen1896]

How concerning would it be if soldering took place at my kitchen table? I have an old house and the kitchen is one of the most spacious and ventable places but lead and food surfaces is concerning. I wouldn't be soldering on surfaces I'd cook with or even usually eat at, but I can also wash. Great video by the way!

[@mayanderes9084]

I would not recommend that as the chance of lead poisoning would be much higher and it is very dangerous. Also whenever touching the lead/solder, please always wear gloves and do not touch your mouth or face. 👍

[@sazjh]

@@mayanderes9084what if you used lead-free solder?

[@assiya7456]

It s a nice , 👍 how to by fournitures in Europe ??

[@Mikichan85]

I would like to know where I can buy that on line. And where I can find the "pattern". In some videos, you clean the glass after the sticker off... With what? And how to do it at home? I mean, you talk about pulver and "toxic smell"... Can I still do it at home? Need a special room? I have so many other detailed questions...

[@AmayaJade]

I have all the supplies linked in the description. For patterns you can either create them yourself or find ones online! I clean the sticker residue off the glass with wd40. You don’t necessarily need a special room as long as it’s well ventilated but I do suggest having a dedicated workspace!

[@Mikichan85]

@@AmayaJade thank you so much for the infos. I'm thinking to start to do this hobby, that's why I was asking. I will make some research for the patterns. Thank you. ☺️

[@hellofood4147]

In another video of yours you showed a solution that you spray on the glass to clean it. Can you tell me what that solution is and is it used to remove the flux?
