Stained glass projects for everyone
Filed under: Activities: Babies
My sister and I appear in one of my favorite photos,
about 5 and 3 years old respectively, groovy outfits and messy wispy hair all over. We're posed in front of our red
Buick convertible, its windows are covered with "stained glass." It’s so easy to do, it’s a
sin. And I remember it to this day as really fun.You take colored construction paper, cut or rip it into pleasing shapes, soak it briefly in water, and stick to the car windows. Then you can sit in the parked car and enjoy the sun through the colors (Do I have to say it? Don't drive this way!)
Maybe I was just a child of the '70s. Is this too simple to be fun these days?
Other “stained glass” options include ironing crayon shavings between layers of wax paper (oh, I loved that one too!), and stained glass cookies made with crushed, melted hard candies. I've made those, too, and they are oh so cool.

Seriously, NOTHING sticks to them, they clean up sooooo easily. I bake about a million cookies at christmas and hopefully I will be able to pick up a bunch more of these so I won't have to buy a tonne of parchment paper/foil just to throw it out.
The construction paper stained glass sounds cool. I think we used to glue tissue paper onto wax paper as stained glass. Then there are the commercial ones with the coloured bits you put into indented plastic designs and melt into the oven.
Does anyone remember the paper you could get that was black and you would scratch it and it was silver underneath? Has anyone found a way to replicate that with silver? I think you can put crayon(usually in random stripes but you cover the whole page) on paper and then paint over it and then scrape the paint off, but it wasn't as pretty as the silver ones you could buy.
Ok I am rambling, I can't wait til my baby is old enough for crafts.
