Today only 10% of all stained glasses are used in churches and other religious buildings; the rest are used in residential and industrial architecture. Though stained glass designs has traditionally been used in windows, its use has expanded to lamp shades, Christmas ornaments, sun catchers, stained glass panels, cabinet doors, jewelry boxes, bracelets, and necklace pendants, to name a few.
