I have decorative simulated leaded glass dining room light fixture that had one of the pieces broken out of it. It appears that the piece that broke was made out of a hard plastic with a glass outer covering on both sides. The pliable lead or copper frame that held this small piece would determine its shape for me, but I dont know where to go to get the material to make it. It would also have to be colored in some way light gray) Any Ideas?

I'd swing by a local craft center and check out the stained/painted glass section. I've seen something that looks like lead on a roll with a self-adhesive side on it.....no soldering required. I think they also make it in copper as well. I think the only tools needed are a steady pair of hands and some scissors. Anyway, my best idea for this project!

Hope this helped!
