Just Like Stained Glass

Create a sun catcher with the look of stained glass! Squeeze to outline a picture or shapes on acetate. Squeeze again to fill in the spaces with brilliant colors!

1. With a Crayola Erasable Colored Pencil, sketch your "stained glass" project on paper. Just erase if you change your mind.

2. Use Crayola Scissors to cut an acetate sheet slightly larger than your drawing. Place the acetate sheet on top of your drawing. Hold it in place with tape.

3. Cover your craft area with recycled newspaper. Use black Crayola Squeezables™ 3-D Paint to outline your drawing. Outline the outer edge of the acetate sheet, too, for a frame look. Air-dry the paint at least 1 hour.

4. Fill the spaces on your acetate sheet with colorful Squeezables paints. Make dots, swirls, spirals, or stripes. Blend two colors together with coffee stirrers. Experiment! Air-dry the paint at least 1 hour.

5. Punch two holes in the top corners of your art. Tie with ribbon to make a hanger for your sun catcher.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

Squeezables® 3-D Paint— WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD—Small parts. Not for children under 3 years. Not for use on skin.

Crayola Washable Paints—Not for use as body/face paint.

Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.

String-Like Materials—Includes string, raffia, lacing, yarn, ribbon, and other similar material. Children 3 years and younger should not be given any string-like material that is longer than 12 inches. Close adult supervision is essential whenever children use string-like material. When crafts are to be worn around the necks of children 8 years and younger, attach the ends of the “string-like material” with clear adhesive tape, which allows easy release of the bond if the craft becomes entangled or caught on equipment. For children older than 8 years, the ends of the “string-like material” may be tied and knotted.

Windows—Be sure windows are securely closed and locked before decorating. An adult must closely supervise the activity.

"Our daughters worked with their father to make a set of beautiful sun catchers for me for Mother’s Day. They enjoyed the project so much they want to make more decorations. "
Donna V., mother of ages 7 and 9.

"The Boys & Girls Club has big windows. The kids made dozens of these with pictures of their favorite activities at the club. We hung them in the window to surprise the Director. She loved them! "
Triana P., volunteer.

Long ago, colorful stained glass was made from carefully guarded recipes. Some of the recipes were lost and artists still haven’t figured out how to make those colors. One red color uses real gold in the recipe.
