Stained Glass Fall Trees – Kid Craft For Autumn

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!

Find all the crafty details below! Happy crafting, my friends and don’t forget to share pictures of your child’s tissue paper fall tree creations on our Facebook page! #gluedtomycrafts

* 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.
