I have two stained glass panels that are literally just glass all along the edges. They are roughly about three feet by about a foot each. I think they were panels in a piece of furniture originally. I scored them at a garage sale for like 10 bucks – so I couldn't pass them up.
Anyway – I would love to hang them in my bay window – in the two middle bay window panels that do not open.
My question is – how do I do this? I am not a glass-maker so am not going to try to drill holes in the glass. I also do not solder so I am not looking to make a frame and hooks that way. I would in fact simply lean them against the window – but they are a few inches short and would lean on the actual windows themselves. Plus I have two cats so I need them secure.
I am open to almost anything that does not require a huge expense and/or weird specialty tools.

The glass bits around the edge are not fully encapsulated without a frame. This is a risk -- damage and / or injury. I would recommend taking them to a picture-framing business and seeing if you can't get a reasonably cheap metal frame cut to size. Obviously you wouldn't need a matte :-), but you might want some extra pads/shims to keep the stained glass panels from rattling in the frame.
