Abstract:
1. A method of making a stained glass lampshade, comprising the steps of: cutting glass into individual tiles of glass forming indicia onto front surfaces of the individual cut tiles; printing tile location positions on an exterior of a semi-hemispherical form; attaching a removable layer to back surfaces of the individual cut tiles; wrapping the form in a clear plastic sheet; attaching the cut tiles to be positioned over the printed location positions; grouting spaces between each of the attached tiles with a grout; curing the grout into a hardened grout which interlocks the cut tiles with one another over the semi-hemispherical form; removing the form and the removable layer from the interlocked cut tiles, to form a finished lamp shade; attaching hangers to lower edges of the lamp shade; and hanging loose cut tiles to the hangers.
