: If you are going to sell at a flea market you are going to need to make sure you have a variety of pieces on hand. This way you can adapt to a person wanting to spend $5 and one wanting to spend $300+. Lori is right. Stained glass is an art that you really need to take a class from someone so that you can learn the techniques. You may find one that suits you better than another. Also, this will give you the basis for what you need to buy. Stained glass is an expensive hobby to start up. Taking a class will help you not only get an idea of how to cut glass but what types of tools and machines you will need. This will also give you an idea if you even like doing stained glass. The end product is great but it is essential that you love the steps going into it, because you really sink a lot of time and concentration into making 1 piece to sell.
: Good Luck!
