"Stained Glass" art project

Here is a CHEAP and simple art project. We made custom "stained glass." Each of the girls made their initials, although I didn't get a photo of Emily's project. Eli also did an abstract which turned out very neat. Here's how you do it!

Step 1: Create a template on a sheet of paper. The girls each drew their initial and then random shapes.

Step 2: Slip the template into a clear plastic sheet protector.

Step 3: Trace the design on the sheet protector with Elmer's school glue. Let dry completely

Step 4: Color glue with food coloring. We mixed the glue and put them into bottles that we use for tie-dying.

Step 5: Fill in the empty "shapes" with colored glue. Let dry completely.

Step 6: Trace over the clear lines again to fill in any gaps. Let dry completely.

Step 7: Carefully peel off the sheet protector and display on a window or mirror!
