Stained Glass Christmas Tree Craft

Dec 6

If you’ve tried our stained glass heart craft, then you’ll know how quickly this craft comes together.

You can use materials you probably already have on hand and quickly pull together a Christmas craft kids will have fun with.

I went into great detail on how to make this craft easy and successful in my post about the Stained Glass Heart.

We did a few things differently with this craft:

We used wax paper instead of parchment paper. Note: I don’t think the brownish, unbleached parchment paper will work for this.
We used a glue stick instead of painting with liquid glue.
I printed the tree outline on thick printer paper instead of printing and then tracing the shape onto black construction paper. (Scroll to the very bottom of this post to download our Christmas tree outline if you don’t want to design your own.)

Both crafts turned out looking great.

Because I already wrote a detailed explanation of this craft, I’m creating this post as a simple series of images with captions. (As we all know, a picture is worth a thousand words.) You can read the detailed explanation of the same kind of craft here.

Note: it can be hard to find tissue paper squares in craft stores, so I’ve linked to some below. You can of course cut out your own pieces of tissue paper from large sheets, but this can be tedious.
