Stained Glass For Beginners - Honeycomb

We're making a honeycomb out of stained glass today! I recently got in a beekeeper suit and checked out the bees and their honey right up close which gave me the inspiration to create this stained glass honeycomb for today's project. We will be doing only straight glass cuts (no curves) so if you are beginners to stained glass, this will be great as your first project. Keep it small if you're just starting out or add a few more pieces if you want a larger piece. Either way, there are lots of variations to be creative with this stained glass project!

I'm a beekeeper with three hives of my own. As soon as I saw this project I just had to give it a go as a novice glass cutter. I'm delighted with the results - one finished in copper and the other in black patina. The bees haven't expressed an opinion of my work - they are too busy hitting all the early flowering plants at the moment. Keep the ideas and challenges flowing.

This is literally the best beginner video I've seen for stained glass ever on YouTube

[Mountaingrly]

This has me wanting to start a new hobby. This is beautiful!

Great informative videos. A tip when grinding glass or tile using a stone - place a thin sponge in a container slightly larger than the grinding stone with the stone sitting on the sponge, fill with water to just cover the stone. Dip the pieces of glass in the water before grinding. This will help to keep the glass or tile sand particles getting into your lungs.

The straightedge and compass construction makes my mathematician heart happy. 😍

[sallybratn]

I really love this pattern. My husband is a beekeeper and I think this will be my first project when I start stained glass 🥰

[christianbyrd]

The cutting of the glass sounds so soothing to me

[cathaire]

Jeez! Give us a minute to savor and admire the finished piece!!!

[yanniko]

I have never seen a stained glass DIY project, this video is awesome

[chelseabailey]

I’ve always wanted to try my hand at stained glass. I’ve watched all your videos, I’m getting the tools for my birthday and I’m taking the plunge!!

[annalee]

That was a great beginner video. You stuck to the project, gave a clear view of what your working on.
Thank you

[polaroized]

i’ve been looking through so many stained glass videos and how-to’s and even the faux ones, this is one is by far the best, you actually tell us what you’re doing and how to do it, every other one i find on here is faux, so your channel is definitely a step in the right direction👏🏼

[oshielbe]

I am so intrigued by this! I so want to get into stained glass art. Thank you for the video! Can’t wait to try it!

[gailcullinan]

Fantastic and informative video for a person who has no clue. Your work is fantastic. Thank you

[crullsummer]

[SC.......]

I'm just ordering my tools and actually this looks like it will be my very first project. I'm excited, thanks for the video and keeping it simple. ❤😊

[sweetdemon]

I love your videos so much! I've always wanted to get into stained glass and I finally (on a whim) bought all my supplies and began with a project that was definitely not a beginner project ha but your videos are a wonderful help and inspiration!!

Veteran stained glass artist here, add a pinch of salt to the patina and it will come out darker the first round!!! :)

[GommStainedGlass]

Great idea, loved the bee smoking introduction! Nice color selection!

[kats]

I just bought some bee fabric to make kitchen curtains. I think this will be a perfect match. It will be my first time trying this.
