Designing Decorative Patterns with Stained Glass Panes

Forming Custom Curves and Figures

Because diagonal panes connect directly across block corners, stained glass panes can be arranged into decorative shapes that were previously impossible to link smoothly.

1. Choose your palette of dyed glass panes, such as pink, yellow, or multiple contrasting colors.

2. Lay out the perimeter of your design on the ground or within a wall by placing panes corner-to-corner diagonally.

3. Use diagonal placement to construct rounded shapes, curved lettering, or figures such as a heart shape.

Combining Colors and Patterns

When placing different colored panes diagonally, each pane connects seamlessly to its diagonal neighbor inside the block space. This allows you to construct colorful stained glass murals that curve softly across rooms, or decorative garden displays laid out directly on grass without disjointed floating segments.
