Here’s how the kids and I made these quilt stained glass windows: I’m all for the easy and fun projects that don’t end up with a beautiful finished product, such as shaving cream art + play, but when the finished product is amazing, too, and we can enjoy it as part of our everyday life… well, that’s my kind of extra special art product. As a kids’ art project, they are generally easy, FUN, and just plain beautiful. Suncatchers and stained glass windows make me happy. Follow each link around the circle until you end up back at this blog, and you will have seen some fantastic, high quality ideas all in one go! I am thrilled to have Jean from The Artful Parent sharing this wonderful art activity for young children, about how to make a beautiful stained glass quilt effect on the window! I am writing today over at A Mom with a Lesson Plan about how to set up simple still life drawing experiences for children. Your creation will add light and joy to your home, as well as to anyone who glances in your window as they walk or drive by.Today all of the member of the 20 Moms group, of which I’m thrilled to be a member, are taking turns to guest post on each other’s sites. Alternatively, you could tape the frame itself to the window. If you’ve got a place to hang your stained glass frame, attach a string to the back using tape or staples. Here we used crayons and glued on foil shreds, again stolen from our wrapping paper supplies. You can decorate the frame using whatever materials you have available.
Using tiny dots of white school glue, stick the pieces of tissue paper onto the plastic wrap, this time with the unprinted side of the cardboard facing up. These pieces can be any shape you’d like, depending on how complex of a design you’d like to create. If you’ve made a very large from, you may need to use multiple strips of plastic wrap.Ĭut tissue paper into small pieces. With the printed side of the cardboard facing you, stretch clear plastic wrap across your frame and tape it to the edges. Cut out a frame in any shape you’d like (parents should help young children with the cutting).
Anyone of any age could participate in this activity, with varying levels of complexity in your “stained glass” designs.įirst, grab some cardboard from your recycling bin. You probably already have all the materials you need if you raid your wrapping paper stash. One way to do that is to create your own version of stained glass. No matter how long we stay inside our homes, we can still spread cheer and share artistic expression through our windows.
