Design a stained glass panel and print its cutting templates

The stained glass pattern maker is a new tool from the pattern library. Choose one of four original designs, set the panel size and your came, and pick four glass colors.

Samples to start from

What you get

  • A PDF with a numbered key and true-size templates, with the came allowance applied and a 1 inch check square on every template sheet
  • Pieces too big for a page tiled over taped sheets, and listed as such
  • A rough glass estimate for each color, including a stated 30% waste allowance
  • A panel preview as SVG or PNG

Strict about what can be cut

A score only runs straight from edge to edge, so every piece has straight sides and no inside corners. No corner is under 30 degrees, cut glass is at least 3/4" wide, and long pieces are split. If a design breaks a rule at your size, the tool lowers the detail and tells you. These limits are cautious guidance, not a guarantee, and the estimates are rough, so verify with your came and your supplier.
