Let the sun shine in—through this fun-to-make window hanging that kids create and decorate themselves!

This activity is appropriate for:
kindergarten & up / 5 years & up

You will need:

Directions

  1. Cut out two 9" x 12" pieces of clear adhesive roll. Lay one on a table, with the sticky side facing up.
  2. Decorate the adhesive by placing tissue paper squares on it. Feel free to place the squares any way you like!
  3. When you’ve placed all your tissue squares, place the second adhesive piece (sticky side down) on top, sandwiching the tissue in between the adhesive sheets.
  4. Cut out a 5¾" x 9½" rectangle from the middle of each piece of black construction paper.
  5. Place the covered tissue squares in between the two construction paper frames. Glue the edges of the construction paper together.
  6. Punch a hole at the top of the frame. Thread a pipe stem through the hole, then form it into a loop.
  7. Decorate the frame with acrylic gemstones or Wikki Stix.
  8. When everything is dry, your new “stained glass” window is ready to hang up and display!
