Stained Glass Pumpkin

This project is so easy and the result is beautiful! Just use contact paper to create a holiday keepsake to use every year!

Materials

Construction paper
One to two-inch tissue paper squares. Don’t have tissue paper squares? No problem! Cut up or have your child rip tissue paper with you!
Contact paper—I would suggest you visit the Dollar Tree if you frequent this activity as often as I do. Grab a few rolls there.

How To

Trace your pumpkin.
Cut the inside out, leaving about an inch of a border.
Cut an equal sized portion of the contact paper and tape it to a desk sticky side up.
Place the cut-out image on the contact paper.
Set this activity up side by side with the tissue paper and encourage your child to fill it in.
When your child is finished, cut another portion of contact paper of equal size and place it sticky side down on top of the image.
Rub and air pockets out. I found using a cloth (or my sleeve) serves best.
Lastly, cut out your shape and tape it to the window.

Tips with Miss Charlotte

You can make just about anything with this stained glass activity, and it never gets old. I do one for almost every holiday. From a leaf to pumpkin to tree and heart! You only need a few supplies.
