DLTK's Holiday Activities for Kids
Stained Glass Poppy Craft

Use this as a craft you can hang in your window or on the fridge.  We made ours a red and green poppy, but you could make white with a black center or any other colors you like.

Optional:  use clear contact paper instead of waxed paper.  This is a bit more expensive, but eliminates the need for glue so is not as messy.

Materials:

  • waxed paper

  • glue

  • tissue paper (reds or whites and greens or blacks)

  • construction paper (we used black)

  • scissors

  • tape
        

Directions:

  • Tear tissue paper into 1 inch squares (ish)
      

  • Take a square piece of waxed paper
      

  • Glue the red tissue paper to the waxed paper in a random fashion.
      

  • Let dry
      

  • Print out the template
      

  • Use a couple of small pieces of tape to temporarily tape the template onto a piece of construction paper
      

  • Cut out the inside of the poppy to make a hole in the paper (I cut a circle in the center to get Kaitlyn started and then let her cut out the rest of the shape.
      

  • Glue or tape the waxed paper to the back of the construction paper so the colored tissue paper shows through the poppy shape.
      

  • Add a couple of pieces of green tissue paper to the center of the poppy
