Well, Easter is coming up, so here is a craft to help us remember what the Lord has done for us. It is also quite pretty!
Stained Glass Cross
What you need:
Black Construction Paper
Bits of different colored tissue paper
Glue
Scissors
Colored Pencil ~ White
Instructions
1. Figure out a design, and then use the white pencil to draw it onto your construction paper. This can be as elaborate, or as simple as you like. Just remember that later you have to cut your design out.
2. Cut out your design.
3. Start to glue your tissue down. Try not to overlap in the cut out parts. You have to mostly cut the tissue to shape.
4. If you like, you can cut two pieces of construction paper to look exactly alike, and glue them together. This way, when you tape your work to the window, it looks good from inside and out. As you can see, I did put some tissue in the lower part of the cross, but when you look at the next picture, it will look like I didn't finish the project. The tissue paper was too light colored to see well in the photo with the lighting and angle from which I took the picture.
5. Tape it to a window, and enjoy!
