Craft of the Week - Stained Rose Window

This is my first "official" entry on my blog. The previous ones were set up by my dh almost two years ago but I never really got into blogging, being low-tech and all. But times are a-changing and I hope that I can do this regularly.

Our Craft of the Week is a Stained Rose window.

Materials:

black construction paper
art tissue paper (a variety of color)
clear contact paper
scissors
craft punch (optional)

Step 1

Cut a circle from the construction paper. The ones shown are 6" and 4" in diameter.

Step 2

For the 6" in circle, fold in half, then another half, then in thirds. The piece will be like a slice of pizza.

For the 4" circle , fold in half, then half again, so you will have a quarter of a circle.

Step 3


6" circle - Snip off the end of the triangle. And cut a petal (or half a petal) shape on both sides of your paper.


4" circle - Punch off the end of the triangle with a regular puncher. If a Craft puncher is available, punch on your preferred shape in the middle of your paper.


Step 4


Unfold the paper to reveal your Rose window design.

Step 5

Cut a square sheet from the clear contact paper slightly larger than your rose window.

Step 6

Peel off the paper from the contact paper and lay the plastic part on the table, sticky side up.

Step 7

Stick your rose window on the center of your contact paper.


Step 8


Fill all the empty spaces with pieces of art tissue paper. For younger kids, use one color per panel.

Step 9

Finally, turn the project over to reveal the finished product.










Now, you can stick your work on your favorite window. Enjoy!
