Stained Glass Fall Leaves

Filed Under: 30 Fun Ideas Ideas For Fall, Crafts Tagged With: Fall

 Welcome to part 2 of 30 Fun Ideas for Fall!

I don’t know about you, but we are experiencing some rough weather right now! Thanks to Hermine, we’ll be doing a lot of indoor activities this holiday weekend. It can be difficult to come up with enough entertainment for the kiddos over a long weekend, especially when you’re dealing with rainy days like we are now! I decided that this wet weather was the perfect time to share our first fall craft of the series: stained glass fall leaves! This is a super fun and super simple kid friendly craft. Your kids will be entertained for a little while and the end result is a gorgeous little decoration for your windows or glass doors! Here is a photo of the leaves we made. Below, you will find step by step instructions with photos.

Stained Glass Fall Leaves Tutorial

Supplies:

  • Fall colored tissue paper
  • Wax paper
  • Scissors
  • Craft glue or mod podge
  • Silhouette cutting machine or X-acto knife
  • Dark colored card stock
  • Popsicle stick
  • clear scotch or double sided tape

First, take the tissue paper and tear it up into small pieces. This is a chance for the kids to go a little nuts, so tell them to have at it!

Next, lay out about 18 inches of wax paper on your work surface. Then, spread a thin layer of glue out on half of the wax paper using a popsicle stick.

Once the glue is distributed, spread the torn tissue paper out over the glue in a thin-ish layer, making sure all the glue is covered. Next, spread a thin layer of glue on the other side of the wax paper.

Fold the wax paper over onto the tissue paper. Starting at the crease, slide your hand out toward the edge, smoothing out the wrinkles as best you can. This will also press out any excess glue.

While the glue is drying cut out your leaf shapes. You can use the file for a silhouette cutting machine, or use an
X-acto knife to trace the leaves from this printable leaf silhouette file. I used dark brown cardstock, but any darker colored cardstock or construction paper will work.

Next, tape the dried tissue paper onto the back of the cardstock. You can leave it together like this,

or use scissors and cut around the outsides of the leaves, like this:

I also taped the cut-out leaves up there as well. I loved how it turned out. If you’re feeling adventurous, you could even hot glue the leaves to some twine to create a cute little fall garland to hang in your window.

I hope you enjoy this craft with your kiddos. Have a great holiday!

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶 It Freaking freezing soccer nights. 🥶🥶🥶

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Two and a half months after her first tooth she fi Two and a half months after her first tooth she finally lost her second tooth. It’s been hanging on barely. Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.
