Apple Stained Glass Windows

This is one of my favorite crafts that I have done every year in the month of September for YEARS.

Seriously, if you have been following me since the beginning (God bless you for sticking with me), I shared a photo of Happy Buddy’s version of this craft that he did when he was 2-years-old.  2-years-old, people!  Where has the time gone?!  See it HERE.

But I have always wanted to share a step-by-step photo tutorial of how to actually make these beauties, so one of my preschoolers let me take pictures of her project for me to share here!

Supplies –

• Cardstock paper in red, green, and brown
• Contact paper
• Scissors
• Tissue paper squares in red, yellow, and green

Step 1 – Cut an apple shape from the red paper (see photo above).

Step 2 – Cut a piece of contact paper the size of the apple.

Step 3 – Peel the back off of the contact paper and place the paper apple on the sticky side of the contact paper.

Step 4 – Cut out a stem and a leaf.  Add to the top of the apple.

Step 5 – Add lots of tissue paper squares.

Step 6 – Trim the edges and hang in a window!

They truly are stunning.  My heart is happy whenever I walk into our classroom!

I hope you will be able to make one of these in time for Johnny Appleseed’s birthday on Saturday.

Happy Apple Stained Glass Window Craft-ing!
