Copper Foil Stained Glass. Copper Foil stained glass is used for smaller decorative pieces. The copper foil method, invented by Louis Comfort Tiffany to make his spectacular lamps, involves wrapping the edges of each piece of glass in a sticky copper foil tape. You then apply solder to cover the tape making the pieces of glass stick together. As each piece of glass is wrapped in the flexible copper foil, rather than thicker more inflexible lead, you are able to work with must smaller pieces of glass.

Don’t stint on the nails they really do help!
