45 Simple Stained Glass Patterns

The colorful patterns of stained glass earned it a special place in the world of art and architecture. Throughout most of its over-thousand years of history, stained glass has been associated with glass panels and windows of significant constructions such as churches. However, with time it has been accepted as a form of DIY craft as crafters can now avail all the necessary supplies for creating stained glass art pieces themselves.
