THE PROCESS IS QUITE SIMPLE
1.) Trace the Hand
First, you can use the template we provide you with your Stained Glass Onboarding Kit.
Or
-
You can use an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper,
-
Place the paper and hand being traced on an even surface and
-
Trace around the hand with a pen or pencil – just like making a hand turkey!
2.) Submit Online, Email, Mail
Order Online: Purchase online and submit the hand tracing when you are ready.
By Email: Scan and email the tracing to al@stainedglasshands.com along with any information required on the order. Be sure to choose what color you want! You have the choice of purple, blue or aqua green.
By Mail: Send the hand tracing along with a check to Al Holdren Stained Glass Hands 7909 N Tanglewood Muncie, IN 47304.
​
3.) It’s Time to Craft a Stained Glass Hand
We carefully cut the glass in the shape of the hand and fingers. Then we grind the edges to make the sharp parts smooth.
​
We then lead the glass so each piece is wrapped in metal ribbon and soldered together.
​
After the hand is complete, we etch the name of the person’s hand along with the year into the hand.
4.) The Hand is Complete
After the hand is complete, we will carefully package the hand and ship or deliver the hand(s) to you.
​
Once the hand arrives at its final destination, it can be a sun-catcher, on an easel on your favorite coffee table, or as an ornament on your favorite tree.
