Stained Glass Effect Suncatcher

Posted 2013-06-07 by Jane Street ⇒ follow


This is a fun craft to make a stained glass effect suncatcher which will brighten up any window. It can be done by even very young children with just a little help.

Time: 15 minutes
Age: Any Age
Level: Easy

Materials
  • Sticky back plastic (contact paper)
  • Scraps of tissue paper and/or cellophane
  • Scissors
  • Glitter (optional)

    • Starting materials


    Method
  • Cut up some small scraps of coloured tissue paper and cellophane. Translucent materials work best as they will let light shine through when affixed to the window.

    • Cellophane and tissue paper scraps


  • Cut a shape out of sticky back plastic. Cut a second piece the same shape as the first but slightly bigger. We allowed about a 1cm border.

    • We chose to make a circle and also a heart


  • Peel the protective backing off the smaller piece and stick pieces of tissue paper of cellophane onto the sticky side

    • Even very young children can enjoy this as the sticking is easy and no glue is required


  • Don't worry if you go over the edge - just trim round the edge to give a clean shape



    • Just trim the shape before you put the bigger top layer of sticky back plastic on


  • Add glitter if you want some sparkle
    • My daughter wanted to add fairy dust


  • Peel the protective backing off the larger piece of sticky back plastic and stick onto your decorated piece, sticky side to sticky side

    • Stick the bigger piece of contact paper on top sticky sides together


  • You should now have a 'stained glass window' with a sticky border which can be affixed to a bedroom window or even a car window.

    • The sticky border of your colourful shape affixes to the glass window


    Our window looked really pretty with the light shining through


    What shape will you make? Why not try making a colourful bird or rainbow? You could even try making a paper snow flake stain glass window at Christmas time.
