Stained Glass Hobby Came - Crazy Heart
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 лют 2025
- This video will show you how to add stained glass hobby came to your suncatchers. I designed a new crazy heart pattern using Cats Eye 2000 software and show you the steps in creating this pretty heart. The hobby came adds a professional looking edge and gives the piece a more stable and heavier feel. The video is shown in a combination of real time and fast forward. I slow it down so that you can see what it is that I am doing and then I speed through repeated processes so that the video is not too long.
I hope you enjoy watching this. Please add comments and let me know what you would like to see more of or if you would like to see something I haven't covered. Thanks for watching!

My first time here. Very cute heart design. Inspiring. TY
Thanks for stopping by! Glad you liked it.
This is so interesting. I love stained glass art! 🙂
Hi Maui Karen Ann, it is a very addictive art. Lots of fun and satisfying. Thanks for watching!
Oh my gosh. The work involved. This makes me appreciate this art all the more. Thx for sharing! 🙂
There is a bit of work involved, but the process is stress relieving and oh so worth it. If you haven't tried it yet, I suggest you start small and give it a go.
Yes there is work involved and the price of supplies has increased. It's a problem if artists underprice their work because it decreases what customers are willing to pay.
I was wondering did you stretch the hobby came first? Do you ever use a cloth measuring tape or a string to get the length needed?
Hi Carla,
Yes, I do stretch the hobby came first. And, yes, I have used a cloth measuring tape, but my favorite way to do it is with a string. Thanks for taking the time to comment and also for watching.
@@artbycherylann8431Is there a ratio for stretching the hobby came? How do you know if it's stretched properly/enough? BTW I'm a new subscriber😊
Wow I so didn’t know eyeglass 2000 was still around! Wonder if I can renew mine.
Yes, and I love designing with it. You should check it out. If you've already purchased it once, you might be able to download it. :)
Great video! How do you keep the hobby came from melting?
Hi Janet, the hobby came won't melt if you keep moving. Don't let the iron sit in one place for any length of time. And, a light touch with the iron. Let the iron do the work to melt the solder, it will melt before the hobby came will. I hope this helps.

Do you not need to stretch the came first? Or does it depend on size?
The came I had was okay, I didn't have to stretch it. It was nice and straight and had substance to it. If your came is not straight or is too pliable, I would stretch it first. You don't always have to stretch hobby came because its only a trim. It really depends. Use your judgment.
@Art By Cheryl Ann thanks for the advice 😃 I've never used it yet, but have some ready to try.
@@janerobo5911 Great, its not that difficult to use. Let me know how it goes. :)
Love your work what temp is your iron and do you always tin your edges before adding came. You make it all look so easy
Hi Sheelagh, my iron is usually set at 360F. I use 60/40 and 50/50 solder. I also use lead free solder for my jewelry pieces and that temp works well for me. Keep in mind, you need to keep moving and allowing an area to cool to prevent seepage. Thank you for watching and for the kind comment.
What hobby came brand and size did you use? Was it zinc or lead?
I like your attention to detail and good advice as you work.
Hi Donna, I'm sorry for the delay in response. I used 3/16" lead hobby came. I added a link to the product I used in the description of this video. Thank you for your nice comment and for watching. I try to make my videos helpful to everyone.
Thank you I must have missed it when I viewed the video and looked at the description.
@@donnaschimek No you didn't miss it. I added it for you. :)
Oh gee thank you!
What was the gauge of the hobby came you used for the heart? I’m going to try doing glass flowers using the hobby came
For this one, I used 3/16" round U came.
I'm new to stained glass and can't afford a table grinder and have been looking at the hand held grinders and would like to find out what you think about them.
Hi Willard, the grinders we use for glass apply water to the bit so as to reduce glass dust in the air keeping it out of your lungs. The same as a tile "wet" saw does. It also takes care of keeping the bit cool. In my opinion, you need to use both hands to control the glass. This not only prevents injuries but allows for smooth edges which are a must for a good foundation for your soldering. I would not suggest using a hand held grinder. I would suggest that, at the very least, you purchase a carborundum stone which you can use by hand to remove sharpies and make the edges smooth. A much safer option. I would love to see you save your money and buy a proper grinder. Hobby Lobby has one for under $100 that many use. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
Cheryl
@@artbycherylann8431 I use sandpaper to remove the edges and I'm looking for a good used table grinder. Thanks for your help.
Look on eBay for a used Inland grinder
Hi, i am interested in trying hobby came. Is your heart pattern available to share? Is really cute.
Hi Bre, sorry for the delay in response. I've put the pattern for sale on my website. You can find it here.. artbycherylann.com/product/crazy-heart-stained-glass-pattern-pdf-download/
The small fee helps support the cost of the website. Thanks for your comment. Have fun!!
Don't you stretch you came?
Yes, I do stretch my came. This straightens and gives the came hardness. However, you dont have to with the hobby came. Some people don't.
