Stained glass is having a moment, and these spaces show how to do it right.

We have been doing some fascinating activities for our Medieval History unit, (Viking Runes, Medieval Illuminations, and our own homemade Medieval Subtleties) but this craft or "craftivity" turned out the most beautiful of all. We created our own stained glass windows! This is an easy activity, especially if you purchase our premade Medieval Window packet which includes 4 possible designs for your students to choose from to make their window. You will also need a transparency sheet (or some recycled flat plastic), a sharpie, food coloring and glue. And some Q-tips. Because we always fall back on Q-tips as an easy go-to paintbrush for these kinds of activities. After drawing the designs on the transparencies with black sharpies, we cut out our window shapes. And we began to fill in the window shapes with our glue paint. To make it easier, we cut out our paper design and taped it, along with the transparency to the table. It kept our image stable while the kids filled in the colors. After the colored glue had dried, we cut out our window edging and glued it over the glass. An optional idea is to go over the top of the sharpie with black puffy paint. This raised black edging makes the stained glass really pop. It feels just like the leaded glass stained windows you might see in an old church or heraldic window. The finished product is tacked to the window so that the light can stream through, just like it streamed through Medieval stained glass windows, many years ago. A beautiful finished product!

Reviews "My students were completely engaged and created a great deal of stained glass with this project. We researched how stained glass was made with Medieval techniques (the V&A Museum has a fantastic video!) and then we got to work, having unearthed a box of old transparencies, which I think really makes this project. We also were creating them for our Medieval Faire for our K-3rd graders and they found the stained glass captivating. I would have never guessed they would have looked so good! Excellent lesson!" --- Anne C. "Loved the informational text. It was so helpful. The activity wasn't as engaging as I'd hoped, but it was still worth the purchase." --- Get Schooled "We a learning about the role of churches during the Medieval time period so this is a great supplemental for us and a nice break from the heavy reading and material. The students enjoyed creating these." --- Pham-tastic Teaching "One of the better stained-glass projects I've seen. Worked greatly for my A&H class!" --- Eli Edwards "We used the patterns to make our own stained glass. We used sharpies instead of glue and they came out beautifully." --- Tippecanoe "I used this resource to supplement what we were learning in class. My students loved the activity?" --- Wendy E. "This was a fun activity to do in my summer program during medieval week." --- Karen C. "My students really enjoyed making them, and were so proud of the outcome. We did what someone else suggested and just used permanent sharpies. They look awesome!" --- Randy Bland "My students loved this activity! We completed it in the middle of our Middle Ages reading unit. To make them even more stained glass in appearance, they lightly used a cotton ball to spread vegetable oil on the back to make them translucent." --- Dayna K.

I apologize for being so behind on my post. Between school and this little thing we are putting together called a WEDDING, I am a little S T R E T C H E D thin. But, I'm playing catch-up this weekend and I hope you enjoy some of these fun activities. Our Church and "L" week was a lot of fun. We started the week working on one of my favorite projects, a lizard. Because we have a "L"andon in our class, we of course called him "Landon the Lizard". I love the little spots on him. They were made by the children with dot paint. He is a wonderful and easy way to introduce the letter "L". I love sensory activities and I love for us to use our hands. I could not resist letter my class make a "squishy" lollipop. "Squishy" painting is one of my favorites. No one really gets dirty (except for me) and I love to see the children's faces when they mix the paint all together. We start with a large circle cut from poster board. The children pick out their favorite colors. I cover the circle with clear plastic wrap (note: this is NOT the time to buy cheap plastic wrap and if you do, use 2 layers). Here comes the fun part . . . squish!! What magically appears is beautiful. We let them dry overnight (some actually took longer) and glued a large craft stick to the back. INSTANT LOLLIPOP! Of course everyone went home with their very own lollipop to eat too! One of our 3 year old teachers found these Tiger Pops at the local Dollar Store and they looked just like our lollipops! Since this is our "Church" week and our school is one of the largest churches (Shades Mountain Baptist Church) in our area, we took a wonderful tour. Here is my friend, Mrs. Christi showing the children the BIG stained glass window (I may get in trouble for posting her picture. But I'm checking to see if she really reads my blog.) Since we saw the church's big window, we headed back downstairs to make our own! We are VERY blessed at our school to get to use all the church's wonderful resources. One of the BEST is the large commercial Ellison machines and dies. We have a good supply of shapes to choose from and one of them is a beautiful window. I carefully lay the cut out shapes onto a piece of clear contact paper and the children have a wonderful time cutting, tearing and placing their favorite colors of tissue paper onto the window. When they are finished, we cover it with another piece of clear contact paper and cut away the excess. Now, it becomes an amazing piece of art. Here it is laying on our light box. My class is doing very well with their scissor skills. Each week we try and spend time improving our skills. This week we worked on "Larry the Lion". Everyone cut their own mane! Isn't he adorable! We also worked on drawing "l"ines by using a ruler to draw his whiskers.  A little close up view of our cutting!  We used the Ellison machine again but this time we used the negative portion of the die cut (don't worry, the actually die cut will be used later!). Instead of using tissue paper, we used colored cellophane that my wonderful director, Mrs. Cynthia ordered for us. Once again, I laid the cross onto a piece of clear contact paper. Then, each child carefully selected their favorite colors and added them to the cut out. Once the cut out was covered we had another beautiful art piece. I didn't send the cross or the stained glass window home until Friday because we used them during our weekly science experiments. On Monday we sent home a little note that asked everyone to bring a flashlight to school on Friday. Of course everyone was so excited on Friday morning to show me their flashlights. Our entire Friday was devoted to exploring the "L"ights! We started by looking at our beautiful stained glass window and cross on a light box. The light box was more fun I imagined. We looked at all difference in the tissue paper window and the cellophane cross. We looked at other things too, including our hands, leaves and even one little girls long hair! Next, we all headed to the kitchen to find our big table covered with butcher paper. Unfortunately, we didn't have enough real rulers for everyone so we used big craft sticks and drew "L"ines! Now, what does this have to do with LIGHTS . . . .well . . . look what happens when you turn the lights out and add a couple of black lights??????? AHHHHH!!! We loved looking at every one's drawing, our clothes and especially our teeth! A special "THANK YOU" to our sweet Assistant Director, Mrs. Melissa for finding us the black lights! Next, we headed up the hallway for some flashlight fun! We drew shapes on the ceiling with our flashlights! Making squiggly lines was fun too! We even danced with our flashlights! Now as sad as it was, our fun day was coming to an end. But we really didn't want it too, so we headed to the kitchen to eat our lunch under the black lights!!! Mrs. Christi and I had one last surprise for our "Fabulous Fun Friday" . . . . Glow in the Dark Jello!!! Oh my! You can find it on my PINTEREST board. Yes, it really did glow in the dark! Although I'm not too sure everyone enjoyed the taste, but we had a great time. THANKS for stopping by. I hope you drop by again to see what we are up to!

I am in love with stained glass. I would sign up in a heartbeat for a glass class if I had the time and money. Alas, I have neither, so I searched out a DIY version. This was really, really fun. And so open-ended. And cheap, too! First step, buy a frame from Dollar Tree. For $1. Next, find a coloring page. I originally wanted to do a mandala, but settled for something simple for my first try. Here is a sampling. Third, follow the steps in this tute. With glue and paint and stuff. I had helpers. I went back over the top with the black paint/glue I love it! Brightens up my kitchen window!

I love summer! Yeah, so... it is now over a month since my kids' school is out and I am finally posting this gorgeous window art project that the 2nd-graders created! Frank Lloyd Wright is our inspiration for this stained glass project -but for the final project, you can see that they used their own creativity, since they are not familiar with his work. Although his works are real glass, ours are made of brilliantly colored tissue paper. This is an easy project for any age. MATERIALS NEEDED: various colors of tissue paper black permanent marker self-sealing laminating sheets Collaborative Window Art: I had the kids get into groups of 3-4 kids and work on one sheet together. First they drew onto paper with pencil their shape composition, tracing shapes or creating their own. Next they placed desired color of tissue paper over their pencil composition, traced the shapes and cut them out. I used self-sealing laminating sheets (3M Scotch Self-Sealing Laminating Pouches - Laminating Machines ) to place the original pencil composition under to use for placement, and then just place the cut out tissue paper shapes on the sticky side. After all the shapes are placed, seal the sheet carefully, and use a permanent marker to outline and make other designs! We punched holes each sheet and linked them altogether for one large stained glass window! (You can hang them up in your window individually with tape or hole punch and hang with mini suction cup.) They were so excited to see them attached altogether! As you can see, we have extra window space, so we made additional stained glass sheets(not shown). NOW GO MAKE YOUR OWN!

When I visited Europe as a child, I remember being struck by the Gothic stained glass windows, and particularly the rose windows found in so many cathedrals- for their symmetry and massive scale. So this year as we've been homeschooling through the Middle Ages, I found myself wanting to help my children interact a little with the beauty of Gothic stained glass somehow. I liked the way this project allowed my children to do their own work but create pieces that were unique and presentable. I had envisioned helping them a great deal, but found that the the art mediums at both stages of the project were very forgiving. My six-year-old and four-year-old made their windows almost entirely on their own. I think an older child could include finer detail and could maybe be more creative with the project. Materials: Glass rectangle from a small picture frame Black fabric puffy paint with a fine tip Acrylic paints Clear liquid glue Procedure: 1. Find a simple outline of a rose window online (a google image search produces lots of options), resize it to fit your glass rectangle, and print onto paper. 2. Place the paper with the outline underneath the glass rectangle. Trace the outline of the rose window onto the glass using the black puffy paint. There will probably be more detail on the outline than is possible to include in the tracing. I let my six year old decide which lines to trace and which to ignore. If you do a little research you can easily find the technical terms to describe the different kinds of shapes in your particular rose window. For example, my six year old's window included a central roundel, and trefoils around the outside of the wheel. It's ok if your child doesn't have a perfectly steady hand with the tracing or if the lines run together at some places. The black puffy paint looks like lead between the panes of glass, and wobbly-ness is actually a pleasing effect here. Also, you can touch up major mistakes with a paper towel. 3. Allow the puffy paint outline to dry. (At least three hours). Mix acrylic paints with clear gel glue on a palette. There is no exact ratio to follow. The finished color on the glass will be more or less opaque depending on the amount of glue. Different amounts of transparency in the same window can be pleasing. Just make sure the glue is thoroughly mixed with the glue before painting with it. If you paint with a little bit of paint that has no glue mixed in, the finished product will have brush marks instead of the smooth look of stained glass. Make sure all the panes in the window are thoroughly filled with paint for best results. Allow to dry overnight. I love these! They cheer me in my kitchen as the light shines through them on the window sill there. The fact that stained glass is beautiful only when light shines through it reminds me of this fact: "God is light; in Him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin."* They are a gentle reminder to me to stay in fellowship with Christ during the day!
