Free Stained Glass Patterns

These free stained glass patterns feature both windows and suncatchers. The windows can be constructed with either lead came or copper foil. The suncatchers, due to their size, are easiest to make with copper foil.

Using a pattern resizing software program such as Rapid Resizer gives you a quick way to enlarge the free stained glass patterns to whatever size you want or need. You can get it at Rapid Resizer for a 14 day trial version, free, before you purchase it (for a very modest fee). It is what I use and I'm extremely happy with it.

Another resizing program, that is free, is at GlassEye I have tried it but found it to be more difficult to use than Pattern Resizer. Of course, that is just my own opinion. I know many people that use it and like it. Try them both and see which one suits you best.

Enchanted Forest

Use different textures of green glass for the tree tops. The tree trunk is actually a brown streaky glass, not maroon as it looks in the picture.

Crocus

Sunflower Window

Use a dark brown textured glass for the center of the flower.

Three Pansy Suncatcher

You could choose your colors from the
five pansy suncatcher to make the flowers
bright, or from the window, just below, for
a more muted effect.








For another idea, you could incorporate
the 3 pansy suncatcher in a window.

Old World Santa

Halfmoon Santa

The holly leaves are an overlay. Make them as a separate piece, but just flat solder the leaves on the back side so they will lay flat. Attach them after the santa is soldered and cleaned. Patina and polish, then attach the leaves, tack soldering wherever they touch a solder line/seam. Use a Q-tip to clean and re-patina where you attached them.

These free stained glass patterns are for your own use, with one exception. The patterns are not to be reproduced for sale or for free, in book form or through the internet. They are all my original designs and I hold the copyright to any and all of them.

Do you have any original patterns, that you designed yourself, that you'd like to share? If you do, go here to learn how to do it.

If you haven't found a pattern that you can use, look at some of these books from Amazon.com. They aren't free, but you will find a wide range of patterns in a variety of themes and styles.
