Getting started in stained glass is no more expensive than getting started in any other other type of craft. The basic tools needed are minimal and come in a range of prices depending on type and quality. You can spend as much or as little as you want.Once you master basic cutting and assembly skills, you can make larger panels, boxes, mosaics, flat panel lamps, tiffany style lamps and more! Many people have turned their hobby into a paying enterprise. There are many outlets for selling stained glass including craft shows and taking on commission works. You'll save money too by making your own stained glass gifts.
