Stained Glass Pumpkins – Craft Idea For Fall and Halloween

Hi friends! Welcome to another pumpkin themed kids craft tutorial on Glued To My Crafts.

Today I’m going to showcasing to YOU our we recently made these Stained Glass Jack-O-Lanterns Pumpkins for the fall season! All you need is clear contact paper, tissue paper and paper to make it happen in your home today. Three simple supplies you probably have on hand right now, so there is really no excuse not to!

No guts? You bet! No pumpkin guts that is! Our latest DIY is mess-free and simply perfect for the younger kids in your life to recreate and display on the windows the Halloween and/or fall season. You can also take note of this tutorial and adjust it a bit {using different shapes and colors} so you can do this all year long too! Like our stained glass hearts, ornaments or snowmen tutorials!

It’s a quick-to-make design, partnered with creative results that last longer than the traditional pumpkin carving! I can easily see this being done within a matter of mines, especially since I’m providing a FREE pumpkin shape printable below.

So without further ado, find all the details, the free file and of course, a few example pictures below!

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
