Sketching a stained glass panel by hand takes hours of redrawing before the first piece is cut. Describe the subject, the style and the shape of the window instead, and this generator draws a leaded-glass design with bold lead lines, large cuttable pieces and colour that looks lit from behind.
How the stained glass pattern generator works
Type what the panel should show, then add a style and a window shape - for example "Tiffany-style magnolia branch, tall arched window, soft green and cream". The generator lays out the subject as separate glass pieces, each outlined by an even dark lead line and filled with a single translucent colour, framed by a border. Regenerate to try another layout, change one detail at a time, and download the design you want to trace.
Tips for designs you can actually cut
Keep to one main subject and ask for "large simple glass pieces" - busy scenes break into slivers that are hard to cut. Name the window shape early, because it drives the whole layout. Limit the palette to four or five colours if you are working from stock sheets, and print the result at your finished panel size before tracing pattern pieces.
Frequently asked questions
Can I use the result as a real cutting pattern?+
Use it as your starting design. Print it at the finished size, check that every inside curve can be cut and that no piece is too narrow, then trace the lines onto pattern paper, number the pieces and allow for the width of your lead came or copper foil.
Which styles give the best results?+
Tiffany florals, Gothic church windows, Art Nouveau curves, Prairie-style geometry and modern abstract panels all work well. Naming one style plus a window shape gives the cleanest, most consistent layout.
Why are some of the glass pieces tiny?+
Detailed subjects get split into many small fragments. Ask for a single bold subject with large simple glass pieces, or describe a simpler background, then regenerate.
Can it add a name, date or verse to the panel?+
The generator draws pictures rather than lettering. Leave a plain band in the design and add names or dates afterwards in a design app, or as a separately painted or engraved piece of glass.
