Toddler Craft: Easy Stained Glass Art

March 23, 2017 by Abby

With just two inexpensive supplies and a few minutes of time, you and your toddler can create this easy stained glass art.

My two oldest kids, ages six and four, love crafting at home. They both do a lot of art projects at school, but they’re up for more at home (hence the three batches of salt dough ornaments we made last Christmas). I’m so not a Pinterest mom, though; I tend to find an easy craft that requires a few inexpensive supplies and run with it.

Speaking of Pinterest, I remember making stained glass art with my preschool students way back in 2008, before Pinterest was even a thing. It’s been on my mind for the last few months, but it took me that long to remember to buy contact paper and then to figure out where in Walmart to find it (in the plastic storage containers/shelf organization aisle, if you’re wondering).

We made our rainbows the same day I brought the supplies home, on a fittingly rainy Monday. The kids loved it so much we made donuts the next day- B’s suggestion- and they’re already dreaming up the shapes they want to try next. We still have nearly the whole roll of contact paper and a ton of tissue paper left, so I’ll have no problem pulling off easy stained glass art again and again.

With just a few supplies and a little bit of time, you can make an easy no-sew interchangeable bunting. It’s adorable for any holiday or season.

With just a few supplies and a little bit of time, you can make an easy no-sew interchangeable bunting. It's adorable for any holiday or season.

I’ve had a lot of fun decorating our house over the last couple months. I was initially intimidated by the whole thing because there’s so much wall space, and because I don’t consider myself a decorator at all. I didn’t rush the process, which helped. Instead, I hung pieces when I felt like it, and I worked out arrangements in my head before making holes in the walls.

I don’t have a defined style. I’m okay with that; I like buying and making things that strike my fancy without worrying about what will match. One of my favorite pieces in our house is this shelf that we refer to as the mantel.

I found it at a flea market and fell in love instantly. I knew I wanted something large for the wall behind our couch, but I hadn’t seen any artwork that grabbed me. As soon as I saw this, I envisioned hanging our stockings from the hooks and changing out the items on the shelf to reflect the season.

I also knew I wanted to make a bunting. I immediately ordered two different sets of fabric: one with a fall/harvest theme and one with Christmas images. And then I got to work.
