Hey Celeste! Congratulations on going for it! I know gathering all those supplies can totally be a process. I use our back room and when I’m in stained glass mode, just setting up takes an afternoon by itself. I am actually sharing some ornaments I have made AND some sun catchers in the upcoming weeks. {My computer is currently at the computer hospital, along with all my images- so it is taking me a moment to be able to post. Trying not to panic.} For sun catchers, I just do tin and solder. Just make sure they’re well-tinned and don’t hold down your iron for too long, or it can come loose from the glass. I’ve learned that the hard way. I hope that helps! Again, I have two projects on this process coming up but check on our ornament post here, that should be a similar process. Hope that helps!

Beautiful door window panes!! Great job for a beginner. I too am a beginner and self teacher. Although I did take a class about 20 years ago and thought at the time I would get into it. Buying all the tools, grinder and glass it fell to the wayside because well let’s just say life happened. But now 20 years later I’m starting it all up again. My question to you is I’m making sun catchers and do you need to put cane around the edges or can I just tin them or put extra solder on the edges. Hopefully this makes sense. I’ll start with that question and possibly a few more questions later.
Thanks!
Celeste
