Pumpkin Suncatchers For The Window
Hey friends! Welcome to another pumpkin-themed kids craft tutorial on Glued To My Crafts.
Today, I want to share with you how we recently made these adorable Stained Glass Jack-O-Lanterns Pumpkins for the fall season! It’s a super easy and mess-free DIY that’s perfect for younger kids. Plus, you probably already have all the supplies you need at home!
No pumpkin guts here! This craft is all about creating beautiful stained glass-like pumpkins using clear contact paper, tissue paper, and regular paper. You can even customize the shapes and colors to make it a year-round activity. Imagine making stained glass hearts, ornaments, or snowmen!
The best part is that it’s quick to make and the results last longer than traditional pumpkin carving. With the FREE pumpkin shape printable I’m providing below, you can get started in just a matter of minutes.
So, without further ado, check out all the details, the free printable, and some example pictures below! Happy crafting!
Happy crafting, my dear friends! Please don’t forget to share pictures with us of your finished stained glass pumpkins on our Facebook page! We can’t wait to see your mosaic pumpkin designs in action! #gluedtomycrafts
