Stained Glass Nativity Craft

December 4, 2013 By Valerie Mcclintick 3 Comments

StaineGlassNativity

Christmas always comes faster then I’m prepared for.

I remember it was even faster when I had lesson plans to prepare for.

This is a quick and easy craft that will give you beautiful results.

(You might remember that we’ve used this technique on our Stained Glass Easter Craft)

So here’s the deal.

You can either print that page on vellum paper and color it in with markers

-or- a more budget friendly and FUN way is to print it on regular paper and then do the following:

Color your paper with marker.  Encourage children to leave areas of white or to use their yellow pen to highlight the tops of each section.

When your page is colored, flip it over and apply oil to the back.  I used a canola oil and a paper towel to rub it in.  You’ll instantly see the oil soaking in.  Oil the entire page.

Let dry, then Hang up in a sunny window.  You can see in my image the oiled area lets the light through.  You can even get creative with what areas you oil and don’t oil for a different effect (see that little oil spot near the bottom of the page)

I think a window full of these would be beautiful in a classroom window!

Cheap-o Shic-o

October 6, 2009 By Valerie Mcclintick 4 Comments


So I have been wanting to make these FOR-EV-ER, ever since they were featured on Dollar Store Crafts (Did I mention I love that site?).

The frames have been sitting in my closet waiting for the perfect opportunity to shine….and finally the right moment has come upon us:

Grandma’s 90th Birthday

Soon my Grandma will be celebrating her birthday, and it will be her first birthday since she’s moved into an assisted living center.

I just know these pictures are going to go perfectly with her decor!

This one is my favorite…maybe I’ll keep it?

And this one turned out neat too! I just cut it from the cover page of my paper stack (which is Martha Stewart’s Golden Woodland Pad (Walmart last year)

The best thing about these is that they are Super Duper Cheap to make. (And you can’t even tell)

Check out Tea Rose Home for the tutorial on how to make them. The only difference with what I did was that I used scrapbooking paper instead….because that’s what I had, but the Fabric ones are beautiful too, and I’m sure have a wonderful texture!
