My Stained Glass Piece – Peace Sign

I chose to do a peace sign because I thought it would be really nice in the end, and it was.

Peace signs make me think of peace, and they make me feel comfortable in my own little way. As well they make me happy.

Why I chose the piece that I did

First you pick what type of glass you would like to use.

After you pick what shape you’d like. You put your safety glasses on. Then you use the glass cutter to make each

part of the shape. You may use the Grinder after your done

cutting your shapes so that each of your pieces are cut firmly with no sharp edges.

How to make Stained Glass

After your done that, you use the copper foil to surround each piece of glass you have.

Then you should put Flux onto your art piece so no Solder sticks to it; and just to the copper foil that you have on it.

When your finished that you use Solder to keep all of your pieces together.

AND YOUR DONE .
