PAIR YOUR FRANKENSTEIN STAINED GLASS CRAFT WITH —> Paper Handprint Frankenstein
Frankenstein Craft Supplies:
- Black Cardstock Paper
- Green Tissue Paper
- Basic Craft Scissors
- Clear Contact Paper
- Black Sharpie Marker
- Eyeball Stickers {I got mine at Michaels in the Halloween aisle}
- Hand-Held Office Stapler
- optional materials – Halloween colored glitter, sequins, feathers, etc.
Directions:
- First grab your craft scissors and ONE sheet of black cardstock paper.
- Fold/cut the black cardstock in half. You can either reserve the other half for another craft day or make TWO stained glass Frankenstein face pieces at once {or go big and skip this step all together!}
- Next trim out a rectangle frame shape from the black cardstock paper. You will want to make sure you don’t cut any of the sides. Your rectangle frame can be as big or as small as you like. Make sure to keep the black cutout from the inside of the cardstock, for the steps at the end. Set aside.
- Now grab your green tissue paper. Cut/tear some small 1 inch squares. Set aside.
- Grab your clear contact paper. Cut out TWO pieces that are bigger than the black frame cutout you just made.
- Remove the backing from one piece of contact paper. Lay it on a flat, clean surface.
- Place the black frame cutout in the center of the contact paper.
- Next have children decorate the inside of their frame however they like with the green tissue paper. They will want to make sure the mosaic design fills ALL of the empty space up. You can also add glitter inside if desired.
- Once they are done decorating their 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.
- Use your scissors to trim out the frame/remove the excess contact paper.
- Grab your black Sharpie marker and draw on facial embellishments to give the Frankenstein life. Add the eye stickers as well.
- Finally – remember that rectangle shape you cut out in the beginning? Cut out TWO bolts from it, for the side of Frankenstein’s head. Staple them to your finished piece.
- Now you are finished! Display your finished Stained Glass Frankenstein piece proudly on a window with washi tape for everyone to see!!!
