Production of stained-glass windows.

I want to talk about their hobby that gradually grew into a kind of home business.

It all started with the fact that on the Internet, I came across the site of a Moscow company engaged in the manufacture of stained glass windows of stained glass. Photos of stained glass literally fascinated me, they were so beautiful, shining some light magic fairy. But especially impressed by the price - 1000-1500 USD per square meter!

He began to collect all the available information. At first it seemed that these stained glass windows are so expensive because making them extremely difficult. But in the process of replenishing their store of knowledge I found that much difficulty is not so much. The more that is already all over the world for the manufacture of small stained glass area of ​​1-2 square meters successfully used the so-called Tiffany technique , invented at the beginning of the last century, the son of an American banker, but who later became famous throughout the world vitrazhistom.

Tiffany came up with a very simple and effective way to connect pieces of colored glass to each other, so that the process became available almost anyone. In addition, it is possible to collect not only flat, but also three-dimensional stained glass windows of any shape (ceiling lamps, chandeliers, vases, etc.)!

I wanted to try to make a stained-glass window of colored glass. Terribly afraid of the main (as I thought then) complexity - glass cutting. Recalls the torment that I experienced at cutting ordinary window glass repair their own windows. And then after all have to cut pieces with curved edges! But it turned out that all is not afraid. He made a pleasant discovery - stained glass designed for stained glass, very easy to cut! And if this is quite simple to use several methods and devices are small, then stained glass production technology It is available to any student of the middle classes!

One square meter of stained glass is worth 100-150 USD And if you do not buy colored glass sheets, and fragments (especially for stained glass art, consisting of small and medium-sized elements), the glass can you do in general for 100-120 rubles. per kilo!

Competition in this area is practically no. Apparently, all it seems that this is a very complicated process! But it is - not so! After many experiments, I was able to simplify the production of stained-glass technology so that the stained glass can make even a schoolboy.

In addition, this method of home based businesses really like people with creative nature and dreams not only make money, but also earn them by means of interesting exciting things. And what could be more fun for a creative person than their own hands to create a timeless ages (literally) a work of art!

Business I have relatively small. Most hobby, turned into earnings.

Stained glass windows are made, I mainly in the form of lamps, sconces size 33x33 cm (area - 0.1 square meters). The cost of such a lamp of about 3000 rubles. If you work in the evening, 2 hours a week, you can not hurry to make a stained-glass window 1. In this month, respectively, it is about 12 thousand. Rub. Money, of course, not so hot (especially in the capital), but for our "province" quite a decent perk. If this occupation to spend a full working day, then the resulting revenue can be increased by 4 times (and then only if to do everything myself).

Customers are mainly looking through ads in the local newspaper free ads and through its customers, which show lights to its guests. So there are new customers.

I buy materials in Moscow, since our city is not very far from Moscow. Monthly supply of glass can bring even in the bag on the bus. In those same companies can purchase and related consumables. Those who decide to try yourself in this business, I think, is not a "scrap" to climb in RuNet and find these companies.
