Stained Glass Window - Craft for Kids
Materials Required:
1. Contact
2. Cellophane in different colours
3. Piece of Black A4 paper
4. Scissors or craft knife
5. Papaer punches in differnt shapes
6. Ruler
7. Lead pencil
Instructions:
1. Fold the piece of A4 paper in half, and using a ruler, mark a border around the edges (apart from the fold) as shown. Cut out and remove the centre portion of the paper using a craft knife or scissors. Open out the outer piece of paper.
2. Cut a piece of contact that is larger than your frame. Use blu-tack to attach it to the table, contact side down, and then remove the covering paper (the sticky should face up). the blu-tack holds it in place and stops it from curling up. Attach your frame to the contact, as shown, making sure that there is a border of contact around its outside.
3. Punch out shapes from black paper (if desired). Arrange the punched out shapes onto the contact in side the frame first. Then cut up your different colours of cellophane inso small pieces, aproximately 1.5 - 2.0 cm square is about the right size. Arrange the coloured pieces of cellophane over the contact inside the frame. It is fine if it overlaps and doesn't matter if not all of every piece is stuck down.
4. Cut another piece of contact larger than the frame, and apply it over the arranged cellophane, as shown. Trim the excess contact from around the frame using scissors or craft knife.
5. Use blu-tack to attach your stained glass to a window.
