I left Memphis at 20 & headed west with $2K, an old car, & no plan. After years in record stores, kitchens, chem labs, & now knee deep in corporate work, I missed the wayward path. Glass art brought me back to that creative, curious in‑between space.

Care instructions for Stained Glass
*Handle stained glass with care and wash hands after handling. Clean with a soft, dry cloth or a lightly dampened cloth — avoid ammonia‑based cleaners and abrasives.
*To restore the shine: If you’d like to give your piece a light shine at home, you can use a small amount of carnauba‑based automotive wax (such as Turtle Wax or Meguiar’s). Apply sparingly and buff gently. Avoid household cleaners or silicone‑based products.
*Hang pieces only from the soldered loops or included hardware, not from the glass itself. Suction cups may fail over time; a secure hook or chain is safest.
* Indoor display is recommended unless otherwise noted. Avoid high‑moisture areas and extreme heat.
Are file types interchangeable
No, file types are not interchangeable. If you select SVG, please only use SVG for your design, do not use the outline from PDF for piecing together your glass and then cut from SVG, there are small variances in sizing that is unavoidable between file types
Does it matter what size i print my pattern at?
Patterns are sold at a recommended size, however you can choose to scale up or scale down with the SVG and PDF file, but this may increase the cutting difficulty of the pattern. PNGs cannot be scaled from the intended size without causing distortion.
I uploaded a PNG or SVG file into Cricut, and the Cricut pattern is showing up as gigantic, help!
Sometimes PNGs or SVGs and Cricut don't play nice on sizing. Just look for the recommended sizing giving in the pattern info and reset it to that in your Cricut machine.
Do you allow returns or exchanges

Does your finished stained glass contain lead?
Yes, unless otherwise noted in the description all pieces are made using time‑honored stained‑glass techniques, including lead solder and came. These pieces are designed for decorative display and are safe to enjoy. As with all stained glass, wash hands after handling, and pieces should be kept out of reach of children.
Can I sell my finished piece that I created from your pattern?
Yes, I encourage small makers and crafters to sell and provide more exposure of stained-glass art to the public :) Please just ensure you credit Wayward Glass Studios for the design.
*Policy: Purchasers may create and sell limited quantities (less than 25/year) of finished stained‑glass pieces using this pattern, including at craft fairs or on Etsy. Please ensure you credit Wayward Glass Studios or April Freeland as the pattern designer if selling the finished piece or displaying your work on-line. Large‑scale production or commercial distribution is not permitted. The pattern file and its design remain my intellectual property and may not be reproduced, distributed, or sold in any form.
How do I download my files?
After your purchase, Etsy makes files available instantly. From your computer, go to your account. Click purchases and reviews, find your order and download.
How do i print oversized posters at home?
A few of my patterns are larger than standard printer paper. I personally prefer to have a local print shop or UPS print them out as architectural plans (only cost a few dollars), but you can print them at home.
Printing at home suggestion: Download Adobe Acrobat for free. Using the PDF file, choose “poster" as your printing option.
This feature breaks a large pattern into smaller sections that you can print on regular paper and tape together.
Because every printer and software version is different, I recommend searching online for:
“How to print a PDF as a poster" for the specific instructions.
