Materials Needed

Sheet of paper

Printer, or a thick black marker

Crayons, colored pencils and/or markers

Safety scissors

Print out the design or draw your own with a thick black marker. You can print out these templates (one cross, one egg, or a sheet with one of each).

Click on template image below to make larger and to print.

Step 2

Color the design however you see fit, make sure to use brighter colors so the light shines through when finished. Markers provide the most vibrant colors but be wary of purples and reds when only using them.

Step 3

Cut out the designs, leaving some of the black outline.

Step 4

Flip the designs around and put them face down on the newspaper. Apply oil over the entire back of each design using the cotton ball or paper towel.

Step 5

Lay the designs between two sheets of paper towel and blot and/or rub off the excess oil. Be sure to be gentle, this is only paper after all.

Step 6

Hang your new beautiful stain glass decoration outside or in a window so it can catch the sunlight.

Doesn’t this make for a beautiful Easter decoration? Any window will look beautiful with this hung up on it. Take a picture of your Stained Glass Easter Ornament and post it along with a comment in the comment section below. I would love to see how your ornament turned out.
