DIY things will be out of a sense of accomplishment.
We love doing art projects and we have so much fun when we have an idea of what we can make.
Getting some sort of inspiration tends to take the longest for us. It’s easy to bust out the art supplies but having some sort of direction makes it much better. The creativity soars when you actually give the kids some sort of task. This project takes some time to so it’s perfect for our rainy day project.
Here’s how we made this project.
Supplies Needed:
wax paper
black construction paper
assorted colors of tissue gift wrap paper
scissors
white glue
med/large sized artist paintbrush
How to Make your stained glass window:
1.) Start with a piece of black construction paper. fold each edge in about 1 1/2 inches and make a crease in the folds.
2.) Cut one of the corners diagonally and cut the inside creases to make a frame.
3.) Lay the frame on a piece of wax paper that is a little larger than the frame.
4.) Use the inside piece of the black construction paper to cut various shapes or designs for the inside of your stained glass frame.
5.) Arrange the black construction paper shapes on the wax paper using the glue to secure them as you go.
TIP: You can arrange your entire design on the wax paper before gluing to make certain you have the design that you want.
6.) Once all the inside pieces are glues down, Glue the frame piece around the edges and let dry.
7.) Trim the excess wax paper from around the frame and flip over so that the construction paper is on the bottom.
8.) Get out your colored tissue paper, scissors, glue and paintbrush.
9.) Begin trimming or tearing pieces of tissue paper to cover the blank spaces in the stained glass design. Use the paintbrush to smooth a thin layer of glue on the wax paper and then gently apply your tissue paper.
TIP: The tissue paper can wrinkle and tear easily so be gentle during this process.
10.) Continue until all the spaces are filled.
TIP: Feel free to layer colors over each other for a different effect.
11.) Let this dry completely.
