It’s back-to-school season in our home and I recently came up with this AWESOME Stained Glass Pencil kid craft idea. I’ve even included a FREE printable in this post to get you started on your crafty adventure on this one.

Perfect for one child at home to recreate or the entire class {teachers, I’m pointing my fingers at you for the first day of school!} Just keep on scrolling, to find the full tutorial and of course – free template. Just download, print and create!

Happy crafting, my friends! Remember – you can easily change up the center of the pencil to reflect your style and visision as well. I could easily see someone adding their child’s picture to the center for a fun touch!

Stained Glass Pencil Craft Supplies:

• Free Pencil Template {download HERE}
• Colored Printer
• White Cardstock
• Yellow Cardstock
• Tan Cardstock
• Heart Paper Punch
• Scissors
• Black Sharpie
• Clear Contact Paper
• Glitter

Directions:

• First download and print the FREE template above. You will want one pencil printable per craft.
• Grab your scissors. Trim out the pencil, as well as the rectangular center from it. Discard excess paper. Set aside the newly cut out piece.
• Grab your tan cardstock. Cut out a triangle for the pencil tip. Take the black Sharpie and draw on some “lead” onto the tip of the triangle. Set aside.
• Grab the yellow cardstock and heart paper punch. Cut out several heart shapes to be placed inside the pencil.
• Now grab your clear contact paper. Cut out TWO pieces that are bigger than the pencil and triangle cutout.
• Remove the backing from one piece of contact paper. Lay it on a flat surface. Place the TWO pencil cutouts, face down, on the contact paper.
• Next have children decorate the inside of their pencil with the heart cutouts, as well as glitter.
• Once they are done decorating the inside of the pencil piece, grab the second piece of contact paper.
• Peel off the backing and place it on top of the other piece of contact paper, moving your hand around to “squish” everything together.
• To finish off the Stained Glass Pencil craft, use your scissors to trim out the pencil/remove the excess contact paper. Then display proudly on a window with tape!!!
