Craft Supplies:

To get started on your stained glass pumpkin project, you’ll need the following materials:

Directions:

From selecting colors to assembling the pieces, each step offers a chance to bond and create lasting memories.

  • First download and print the FREE pumpkin shape printable listed above.
  • Using your scissors trim out the pumpkin design, as well as the center of it.
  • Now grab your contact paper and cut two pieces the same length.
  • Take off the protective paper off one and lay it on a flat surface.
  • Lay your pumpkin cutout on the contact paper, face down.
  • Go ahead and at this time, sprinkle a small amount of loose craft glitter in the inside the pumpkin shape.
  • Now grab your yellow & orange tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
  • Have your child place it on the contact paper, inside the pumpkin design, to make a beautiful mosaic piece.
  • Once done, grab the other piece of contact paper and remove it’s protective sheet.
  • Then lay it on top of the other piece and press firmly, making sure every corner is stuck together.
  • To finish off the Stained Glass Jack-O-Lantern Kid Craft, use your scissors to trim out the pumpkin.
  • Use the black Sharpie marker to draw on jack-o-lantern features on the finished piece.
  • Then display proudly on a window or on a fridge!
