You Pinspire Me
We’ve done stained glass projects before – a Veggie Tales one, and I love the idea of using clear contact paper to stick the frame on, then putting the tissue paper right onto it. We decided on a Nativity stained glass. No mess with glue, and it looks great. We ran out of contact paper to go on top, so I just used strips of packing tape. It seemed to work. I was inspired by this pin. Hers was a beautiful silhouette, but somewhat intricate, so I simplified it a bit.
The boys had a great time doing this, and it was really good for their fine-motor skills. Make sure that they fill all the empty spaces with colour.
A simple, yet beautiful nativity stained glass craft!

I live in Hamilton, Ontario, and love my city. I'm a Netflixer, choral music geek, bookworm, inventor of recipes (I take Artistic Licence on EVERYTHING that I make), wife of one, mother of two, and owner of a neurotic Schnauzer. I respect people who respect others. I love good food that's well done, but my favourite lunch is KD & hotdogs. With ketchup. I'm addicted to Clearance Shopping. I will ALWAYS get the product that I want at the price that I want, eventually.
