Valentine’s Day will be here soon!  How would you like to make a beautiful decoration for this special day ? 

A pretty stained glass heart that you can hang in the window or from the ceiling. 

You could even give it as a present to someone you love very much. 

Let’s go!

MATERIALS

• Construction paper
• Different colored tissue paper
• White or transparent glue
• Water
• A piece of waxed paper
• Scissors
• Paint brush
• White pencil crayon

STEP 1

• Draw a frame in the shape of a heart on your construction paper
• Cut it out
• Use your heart frame as a template to make another heart frame

STEP 2

• Cut strips of your tissue paper
• Now you can cut squares out of the strips of tissue paper

STEP 3

• Add a little bit of water into your glue and use your paint brush to glue the frame onto the waxed paper
• Turn the heart frame upside down (facing the table)
• Put glue on the waxed paper (the heart frame will be on the other side)
• Glue your little squares of tissue paper onto the waxed paper

STEP 4

• Put glue on top of your little squares of tissue
• Glue your second heart frame onto the waxed paper (matching it to the other side) and let dry completely
• Cut the waxed paper that extends past the heart frame

IT’S DONE!

You now have a beautiful Valentine’s Day stained glass heart.

Be sure to hang it where there is a lot of light!

I hope you had fun making this activity with me!

Come back soon!
