These Heart Peace Signs are embellished with pretty glass beads on their hangers. The hanger is double or triple twisted, not only to add strength but this ensures durability. I've had some for many years, both indoors and out! One of my favorites, and one of my most popular items, I began making these 15 years ago and have created them in every color of the rainbow and more. No two are exactly alike!
These heart peace signs are approximately 5 to 5-1/2 inches tall plus the length of the hanger. Depending on size of the beads used, there may be anywhere from 5-15 of them. The hanger length will vary, but is usually between 7-12 inches in length. I can adjust that to suit your needs if you send me a note with your order.
I don't recommend using a suction cup type hanger on your window, because with time, and due to temperature changes and condensation on the window, these will come loose and fall off. I usually like to hang my sun catchers either from a cup hook that is installed under the top window frame, or even from the center of a curtain rod. While they do hold up to outdoor weather, I would recommend placing them in a secure place in very windy or harsh conditions.
Not recommended as a gift to a young child as it does contain lead in the solder, however I can make you some with lead-free solder. Just let me know what you like. Production time varies according to how many orders I currently have and I will disclose this up front. These peace signs are popular with teens and adults alike.
I take great care in creating pieces that I love to design, and my goal is that you will be happy to own, display, and use them in your home or office. I carefully package them so they will arrive looking the same as when they left my shop.

Meet the Maker
I've been a Stained Glass Artist for 2 decades now, and I put a lot of love into everything I make!
A little about me:
It all began with a dream...
I'd always loved the way light interacts with stained glass, and dreamed of learning how to make pieces of my own. I had the opportunity to take a class when I was attending Cal State University, Fullerton, where I learned the basics of cutting, grinding, and using lead came to create some simple windows. Working with stained glass was now in my blood and I taught myself the Copper Foil Method of Construction by reading books. Copper foil construction allows me to create a wide range of pieces in both 2 and 3 dimensions. These include hanging sun catchers, business card holders and more for your office, candle holders, vases, hanging mobiles, and much more! While I do have many popular designs that I have sold for many years, I love to create completely unique pieces as well! I've been creating unique stained glass pieces for 2 decades and am thrilled to do custom orders; special color combinations or sizes to suit your needs. I've been approached to create completely new designs or sizes: for instance a large company asked me to created a bigger version of one of my business card holders to accommodate special cards; they ordered 43 of these in 2 color schemes to give as gifts to their employees! Another example: I once made almost 100 Peace signs for a customer who purchased them as special commemorative gifts at a memorial.
Custom orders begin with a need and an idea; together we can communicate to create a color scheme, pattern, size, and design to suit your specific needs.
I'm happy to include as much or as little of your input as you are comfortable with: I've found that some people want to give me some information and have me run with it, while others like to be very involved in all aspects of planning. It helps the process run more quickly if you'd like to browse through my shop and find colors and types of glass that you are drawn to.
My goal is to make pieces that are artistic, useful, very well made items that you are proud to own and display in your home, office or outdoor space! I sell many pieces that I can send directly to a gift recipient: Please include the correct shipping address at checkout and let me know what I can write on a note card. (Example: "Happy birthday Whitney! Love from your brother Nate"). I will have a gift-wrap option available at a nominal charge! I use a gift box to package the items; beautifully gift wrap with a selection of wrapping paper and add a pretty bow to finish it off; this package then goes into a larger, sturdy shipping box surrounded by bubble wrap to ensure safe delivery.
I'm very careful with my packaging, using sturdy boxes and plenty of bubble wrap so your special purchase arrives in the same condition it left my workshop.
How it’s Made
Hand crafted using your choice of color in Stained Glass; Glass beads and possibly other embellishments
Shop Policies
Welcome and thank you for visiting my shop!
Processing times:
In Stock items ship in as little as 1 or up to a few days. Many of my items are made to order, allowing you to choose your specific color choice or design. I do work on orders by the date received, so that the earliest orders can ship the soonest. Processing times are dependent on the item and the number of items ordered, and how many orders I currently have in my queue: normally it takes me between 2 and 10 days to complete a made-to-order item and get it to the Post Office. This doesn't include the actual time spent in transit. Please feel free to contact me if you have a specific timeline, if it is a gift for instance. I can give you a good idea of when I can complete your order! Like any online seller, I can't promise how long the post office will take to get it to you. However, in the 1000's of packages I've shipped over the years there have only been a handful of real issues with the delivery time.
Cancellations or Returns:
Please save your packaging materials.
I understand that at times you may need to change your mind and I am happy to work it out with you to the best of my ability.
To Cancel, please let me know within the first 24 hours and I can refund in full. Anytime after that, check in to inquire about options: If I haven't purchased material or started cutting the glass, I can happily refund in full. If I Have started, I will refund 50-70% of the total depending on how far along I am with the order. Custom orders however, are final.
Returns: Custom orders and sale items are final; No returns accepted! Anything else please contact me within 7 days for instructions. Give me a brief description of the reason for wanting to return the item. Using the packaging materials used in my shipping to you, please very carefully wrap each piece. If it's a card holder or other 3 dimensional piece, fill the inside with bubble wrap and surround it with more. You want to box to be full but not super tightly packed. It should not move around but should have just a little give. Try to keep the same amount of bubble wrap around each side of the glass (example, and inch above, below, and on the sides). If I receive your purchase back in the same unused condition as it left my shop I will refund minus the shipping costs. Customer is responsible for shipping charges both ways.
I appreciate your business!
