Are you that person who loves making stained glass gifts for the lucky people who know you? I may know a person or two like that. :) Quick stained glass patterns require a few things - no complicated cuts, less than 10 pieces of glass total, and easy edging, whether you're using a solder bead or some came. Here's a list of the top 15 stained glass patterns for quick and easy gifts! 

And be sure to get all the way to the bottom - you might find a fun discount code down there. Happy reading!

15: Easy Mid Century Modern Mushrooms

This 4-pack of mid-century modern mushrooms is designed for fun, beautiful, mod mushrooms that can be used as suncatchers or as ornaments.

 

14: Cute Ghosts

Not just a Halloween staple anymore, these 4 cute ghosts are just the first ones I designed - there's also a birthday ghost, cowboy ghost, sweet bow ghost, and a Christmas ghost. All you need is a paint pen for the details!

 

13: Graceful Cat Pattern

With 10 pieces of glass and a couple quick swipes of black paint for the eyes and nose - and no small pieces - this Graceful Cat works up quickly and makes an amazing gift for a cat lover.

 

12: Mid-Century Modern Oval Pattern

Another 10-piece design, this MCM oval stained glass pattern uses curvilinear geometry to become an expressive and styled piece for anyone's decor.

 

11: Gemstone Cactus Stem

A piece is that is much easier than it looks - the three parts of this gemstone cactus stained glass pattern can be made with three pieces of glass (cut and then soldered together for those lines, OR the lines can be made from tinned copper wire). And the gemstone "flowers" are round cabochons that are easy to add. So fun!

 

10: Mini Succulent Ornaments

Four potted succulent designs come in this pack - make them as ornaments or as small suncatchers. They are sure to delight anyone who enjoys a plant they can't kill.

 

9: And while we're talking about Mini Succulent Ornaments...

Four more designs! These aren't succulents as much as they are potted plants, but the same idea applies - easy, quick, and adorable results from this pack of four potted plant stained glass patterns.

 

8: Gemstone Gnome

I admit it, I have a gnome obsession. If you do too, or you know someone who does, this deceptively easy gnome pattern just needs a cabochon and requires no fancy cuts. (Trust - instructions are included on how to make that cabochon work.)

 

7: Sweet Heart

If you want to give someone your heart - or you just know someone who loves hearts - this beautiful, curvy heart stained glass pattern has so many color choices, and looks beautiful when completed. Only 7 pieces of glass!

 

6: Round and Oval Modern Ornaments

All of these ornaments are quick workups - especially if you're more on the comfortable side of working with curves. And their simple shapes make them easy to give just about anyone.

 

5: Mid-Century Modern Oval Pattern

Another 10-piece design, this MCM oval stained glass pattern uses curvilinear geometry to become an expressive and styled piece for anyone's decor.

 

4: Boho Feather Ornaments

These are truly fun - so quick and easy to make, and everyone seems to adore feathers. These Boho Feather ornaments are a great option.

 

3: Camping Tent

For those outdoorsy types who can't wait to plan that next opportunity to sleep outdoors (not me, but hey, I admire those who do), this Tent Stained Glass pattern is the perfect suncatcher or ornament to make for them. And it works up quick.

 

2: Walking Bear

A chill, calming walking bear just hanging out in the window - a gift for someone who's hard to buy for, or for that nature lover or animal lover you know. (Even though it's just a smidge over 10 pieces, I included it because it's still a fun, easy, high-gratification one.)

 

1: Gemstone Gnome Ornaments

These Gemstone Gnome Ornaments are absolute show-stoppers, and they are deceptively easy to make. Full instructions are included - the trick is to have some tinned copper wire and a few cabochons on hand. Each one only requires two pieces of glass!
