Turn a printed sheet into light
240 printable patterns for painted glass. Print one tonight, and hang it in your window before the week is out.
this is what you print
Does this sound like your evening?
- You sit down to make something and end up scrolling instead.
- There are two unfinished projects in the drawer and you are not opening them.
- You have told yourself you cannot draw, so this is not for you.
The last one is the only one we can settle right now: you never draw anything. You trace lines that are already on the page.
Is this for you?
This is for you if
- ✓you want a finished piece tonight, not a project that takes a month
- ✓you own a Cricut or a laser cutter and never have anything good to cut
- ✓you like following a line more than inventing one
- ✓you give handmade gifts and want them to look like they came from a shop
This is not for you if
- –you want real leaded glass with cutting and soldering: this is paint on a surface
- –you want a physical kit in the post: these are files you print
- –you want someone to design something custom for you
Four reasons this one sticks
It costs almost nothing to start
A bottle of liquid leading, a set of glass paints, and a sheet of acetate or an old picture frame. Under fifteen dollars, and the frame you already own counts.
It is quiet work
Tracing takes the same part of your attention that scrolling takes, and gives something back.
You do not need to draw
Every line is printed. You follow it. That is the whole skill.
It holds light
This is the only thing on your shelf that changes through the day.
240 patterns, and five files for every one of them
A4 PDF
Sized to the page with a 36pt margin. Prints at home with no resizing and no cropped edges.
US Letter PDF
The same pattern laid out for Letter paper, so nothing is cut off on a US printer.
Vector file
Scale one pattern up to a door panel or down to a coaster and the lead lines stay sharp.
Cutting file
Opens in Cricut Design Space, Silhouette Studio and laser software, ready to cut.
Numbered sheet
The same pattern with every cell numbered, to plan your colours before you open a bottle.
Every pattern, every format
1,200 files in all, filed in six collections and three levels so you can find one in twenty seconds.
Eight of the 240, printed exactly as you get them.
Print the sheet, then make this.
If you own a Cricut or a laser cutter
Most pattern sets are flat PDFs, so the machine has nothing to read. Every pattern here comes as a DXF as well, so you can cut stencils, acrylic shapes and glass templates from the same file you print.
Three steps, and the first one is printing
1Print and place
Print the sheet at 100%. Tape it face up, then tape acetate, glass or an old frame on top. You work on the clear surface and trace what you see underneath.
2Trace and fill
Run the liquid leading along every black line, keeping the tip on the surface. Let it set until it is firm, one to two hours. Then flood each cell with colour, one at a time.
3Let it catch the light
Leave it flat overnight, then hang it where the sun comes in.
Eight things you can make this month
Window panels
Suncatchers
Framed pieces
Candle holders
Lanterns
Vases and jars
Mirrors
Seasonal piecesSix collections, three levels
First pattern
Large cells that forgive a wobbly hand. Finished in an evening.
Confident
The middle of the library, and where most people stay.
A whole evening
Panels worth framing, and worth charging for.
The beginner and the person with the laser are not looking for the same thing, so they are not in the same folder.
You are allowed to sell what you make
The licence is written out in full and it comes inside the download. You may sell the finished pieces you make from these patterns, at a craft fair, in a shop, or online. You may not resell or give away the pattern files themselves.
They tried it. They loved it.
Real messages from makers who picked up faux stained glass with us this month.
"Why not just use free patterns?"
You can, and some of them are lovely. Here is what you run into at the table, and what a Blueprint sheet does about it.
A free printable
- ×One image, one size. Enlarge it for a door panel and the lines go soft.
- ×Lines that stop halfway, so the cell never closes. You find out with the leading already down and the paint running into the next cell.
- ×No numbering, so you plan the colours in your head and hope.
- ×Nothing a Cricut or a laser can read.
- ×Personal use only, almost always. Selling what you make is not covered.
- ×No order to it: twenty minutes of hunting before you print.
A Blueprint sheet
- ✓Five files: A4, US Letter, SVG, DXF and the numbered sheet.
- ✓Every cell closes. Drawn to be leaded, not to be coloured in.
- ✓The numbered sheet, so you plan the colours in pencil first.
- ✓A DXF that opens in Design Space, Silhouette Studio and laser software.
- ✓A written resale licence for the pieces you make.
- ✓240 sheets in six collections and three levels: you choose in twenty seconds.
We threw the first one away. That is the whole difference, and it is why these are sheets and not pictures.

🎁 Four printable guides, included
- ✓The method in five steps — how long each one takes, and how to know it went right
- ✓What to buy — the materials list with real prices, and what to skip

Try it for thirty days
Use the patterns for thirty days. If by then this craft is not for you, write to us any time between day 30 and day 60 and we refund you in full. You keep the files: chasing downloads back is not a thing we do.
We ask for the thirty days because nobody can tell from one printed sheet whether a craft suits them.
Still have questions?
Do I need to know how to draw?
No. Every line is already printed. You trace it, and that is the whole skill.
What do I need to buy?
Liquid leading, glass paints, and a surface: acetate sheets, an old picture frame, or a jar. Under fifteen dollars to start, and the full list is in the download.
Is this real stained glass?
No, and that is the point: no glass cutting, no soldering, no kiln. The finished piece looks like leaded glass and catches the light the same way.
What surfaces work?
Acetate, glass, plexiglass, jars, mirrors and window panes.
Can I really sell what I make?
Yes. The licence covers the finished pieces you make. It does not cover reselling the files.
Is this a physical product?
No. You download the files straight after paying, and nothing ships.
How long do I have access?
There is no expiry, and the seasonal additions land in the same folder.
Tonight, instead of scrolling, make something that glows.
