Falling leaves are a sign that summer is waving us goodbye. I’m so excited to be sharing this Stained Glass Fall Trees kid craft idea with you all today!
Keep scrolling to see how we did it with just wax paper, tissue paper and school glue!
I have a ton of fall themed kid crafts coming up on the Glued To My Crafts Blog and today’s is just as easy as the rest.
Using some simple supplies {even one from our pantry} Lil Man & I were able to spend an afternoon making these beautiful Stained Glass Fall Trees together.
These decorative trees were the perfect addition to adorn our windows, especially when the sun is really bright outside. The colors are so vibrant, you wouldn’t know it was just tissue paper.
I’m telling you – this kid friendly craft is super easy and fun for all ages!
What are you waiting for? Let’s grab our supplies and make this Stained Glass Fall Trees – Kid Craft together!

Stained Glass Tree Craft Supplies:
* Colored Tissue Paper {think fall colors – orange, yellow, red}
* Wax Paper {affiliate link}
* Colored Cardstock {green, brown}
* Kid Friendly Craft Scissors
* School Glue
* Foam Paint Brush
optional – loose craft glitter
Directions:
* First cut your tissue paper into small squares.
* Set them aside.
* Out of your cardstock, cut out your tree features {tree trunk, top of the tree}
* Cut out the center of the area, where the leaves would normally be for the tree.
* Discard the inside piece.
* Tear off two sheets of wax paper.
* Lay one down on your working space.
* Squirt some glue in the center and spread it all around.
* Lay your tree cutcuts on the wax paper.
* Ask your child to fill in the blank area with the tissue paper, until completely covered.
* If you like, you can also add some loose craft glitter on this step!
* Once done decorating the first piece of wax paper, grab your second piece.
* Slather glue all over it, just like the first one.
* Now lay that on top of the other piece of wax paper.
* Make sure to press down and get all the corners. You want it to really stick.
* To finish off your Stained Glass Fall Trees, use your scissors to trim out the tree from the wax paper.
* Then display proudly and snap a few pictures to share with us! #gluedtomycrafts
