Stained Glass For Beginners - Dream Catcher

[@caseytrenholm879]

You're doing incredible! Thank you so much for posting these things. I feel like you keep selling yourself extremely short, which is super admirable; but please be sure to remember give yourself credit for what you've done!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I LOVE sacred geometry and I'm sure I'll explore some more designs in the future. Sacred geometry dream catchers, what do you guys think?

[@heartfuldesigns4you]

I love sacred geometry too! Stained glass mandalas could be amazing. This is so delicate and beautiful and love the dream catcher element. Great idea to change out the feathers. I must say too that I love how the city is part of your videos and love the artistic details like showing that labrynth in the background. Really educational and beautiful! A great combo.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

@@heartfuldesigns4you Aw thanks so much for your kind words 🥰. Mandalas are perfect and you read my mind! I plan to make them sometime soon too!

[@rdarockies]

I love it.

[@theresevarney4715]

What does this mean? Does it have a special meaning other than a dream catcher? This is so awesome, I love it and you did a beautiful job! What does a feather mean? Sorry, I don't understand but I would very much appreciate the meaning of both. Big fan and sub from Washington State 😃 🌲🌲🌲

[@XxkittystarrXx]

Shoutout to the tiny pieces! So smart with the claw clasp so using that idea!!

Man, what a dude. Just imagine it: he rides up to the home improvement store clad in leather, smiles at the ladies perusing the lighting and hardware sections, grabs his brass rods, and thanks the lady at the exit warmly. He slips the supplies into his backpack, slides his helmet over his head, mounts his bike, but before he kicks off, a bewildered woman runs up to him from inside the store. “Sir, sir! Please, you have to tell me: who are you? What are those rods for?” The leather clad, bike riding, gauge wearing mystery man looks up at her in surprise. He chuckles warmly before responding “ *It’s for my stain glass project* . It’s a beautiful opalite dream catcher. I hope one day you get to see it.” With that he snaps his visor shut, kicks his stand up, gives her a gentle wave, then speeds out of the parking lot. It’s been 15 years, and Maggie still can’t forget the stain glass biker she met at Home Depot.

This is AMAZING 😍

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks! 😁

[@bettyfirth3486]

I'm enjoying your videos to refresh my skills. With the dream catcher, it would have helped to see you soldering the sides in real time. The little triangles are so close together,, I'm wondering if there are any tricks to getting that soldering smooth without gloppy solder. And, it would be helpful to actually see the copper foil on these small pieces...it's so wide relative to the size of the pieces. So, slow down a bit, if you really want to be helping beginners! Thanks!

[@krissyfabz5867]

oh i love this!!!👍💕

[@bethmcdaniel1615]

I'm having a really hard time finding a Sri Yantra pattern. I'm completely new to stained glass but I NEED this in my life lol. Do you have a link to something I can print out or a tip on how to get a pattern? You're work is beautiful! Thanks for sharing this tutorial!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I found it on Google but don't have this specific pattern now. I will look for it and let you know if I find it again!

[@jiggss]

so nice!

[@butterkeksgangster6685]

Love it! Just tried a 3 dimensional project but had some trouble. Did you try that already?

[@cpack96]

so gorgeous !!!!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@katlaya]

My question is when do you use lead came and when do you use the foil? Is it just a matter of preference or are there rules for using the lead came vs foil and solder.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I do believe it is mostly preference until you get to bigger pieces where the lead came adds strength structurally. Now I've only done copper foil and believe it's easier to start with. Lead came gives you cleaner lines but you still have to solder the joints. Copper foil allows you to work with smaller pieces as the foil is thinner. It's almost two separate styles and techniques. I do want to try leading soon though. Cheers 🤙

[@katlaya]

@@StainedGlassDIY Thank you!!

[@marijanabogdanic4174]

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Happy you like it, thanks! It's one of my favorites!

[@leanakincheloe]

It’s beautiful! 😍

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thank you so much!

[@sheelaghevenden6185]

Hi just looking at your great work can I ask what made grozing pliers do you use

[@StainedGlassDIY]

It's a generic brand, dragon I believe

[@christophermerkl8106]

My 3ft brass rod is to short to wrap around the 12in diameter dream catcher. There is about 2in gap.

[@ChaliePuth.]

Thanks your Video. i always enjoy yours. I tried to cut the glass with hand cutter but it is not easy. So i have plan to buy cutter mate.( kind of cutter tools).how do you think about it?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Have you tried a pistol grip cutter? They might be more comfortable and easier to use. I've never used a cutter's mate but looks like it helps keep the angle constant.

[@StainedGlassDIY]

I would try different types of hand cutters first since they're cheaper, then go for the cutter's mate. I hope you find something that works for you and let me know how it works out! 😃

[@theresevarney4715]

What is that brass tube called? Also, the size. I think I saw 1/8 on it? Thanks so much!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

It's a solid brass rod 1/8" home Depot or regular hardware store

[@lreynolds1014]

This is great! Thanks for the videos, how long have you been doing stained glass projects for?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Thanks! It's only been a few months, so not that long ago. I'm learning a lot and just passing it along!

[@so-much-to-learn]

What else can you use to solder if you dont want to use lead?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

There is lead free solder as an option

[@artedelvitral4623]

Can you share the link of the pattern? Thanks

[@josully3690]

Dope!

[@lunox663]

Thank you for the very informative videos, so inspiring(: could you share the link for the glass cutter you're using? I have a basic cutter and I cannot seem to get comfortable w it!!

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Yes here's the one I'm using: amzn.to/2VfHLHS Others like this pistol grip type but I haven't tried it yet: amzn.to/2Ziwugz Hope it's better for ya!

[@arwamuhtaseb1754]

Can i use acrylic sheets instead of glass ?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Nooooo

[@aprildebroux659]

How much were the brass rods?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Like $1?

[@nadinethe1st219]

Can you put lights on it for night ✝

[@StainedGlassDIY]

Like a nightlight? Might try something like that in the future

[@l98414]

How long did this project take to make?

[@StainedGlassDIY]

A few weeks I think

[@BriannaPro21]
