We had fun making a bit of a mess today!
Stained Glass Leaves

Cut black construction paper or heavier paper ( what I used ) into two 5" x 5" squares.
Cut a leaf shape from the center of the two squares while holding them together. You may want to place your leaf shape at a diagonal, so that when you hang it the construction paper border is diamond shaped.

Shave crayon bits in fall colors. You may want to use more than one color for each leaf.

Place the crayon shavings between two pieces of wax paper and press with a warm iron until the crayons melt. I put it between an old towel to catch any bleeding colors.

Cut the wax paper to fit inside the edges of the construction paper frame.
To assemble the window, glue stick both black papers and place wax paper that you created with crayon between them. Make sure your leaf pattern matches up.

Punch a hole in the corner, making it diagonal. Use a small suction cup with a hook to hang in a window or use a ribbon.
