Stained Glass Art Project

This is a tutorial on how to make a stained glass art design.




Stained Glass Art Project



Step 1 -Using the flat side of a small piece of chalk, make a frame around the outside of a piece of black paper.         

Step 2 – Using the flat side of the chalk, draw a simple shape inside of the frame.  Then connect the shape to the frame in 3 to 4 places, again using the flat side of the chalk.

Step 3 – Cut out everything that isn’t chalk.  Slightly bend the paper to make a small cut in order to get started with your scissors. (see step 5)

Step 4 – Trace around all of the areas that you cut out on the second sheet of black paper.  Use paperclips if you don’t want the two pieces of paper to move.  

Step 5 – Cut out the same areas as on the first sheet.  To make it easier, fold the paper to make a slit that you can put your scissors through to start cutting.



Step 6 – Place two sheets of white paper behind the sheet with the chalk marks.  Make sure the chalk side is facing you!!!

Step 7 – Place a piece of tissue paper over one open section of the design.  Trace onto the tissue paper larger than the opening and then cut out the section of tissue paper.

             
Step 8 Continue to trace and cut out pieces of tissue paper for each section.



Step 9 – Carefully put a very thin line of glue around a section and then place the tissue paper on the section.  Do not use too much glue.

Step 10 – Continue to glue down each section of tissue paper.

Step 11 – Put glue around each part of the frame where there is chalk and carefully place the second frame on top. 
Hang these up in a sunny window for a stained glass effect.

Poetry Month is Right Around the Corner Are you getting ready for Poetry Month in April? If so, I have some resources to share with you for creating concrete poems. Concrete poems are words written in a shape to convey a poem. They look like this: Recently I went on a mission to search for a site to use with a fellow colleague and her students. They wanted to make concrete poetry on their Chromebooks. There aren't many sites that allow the user to actually write words into any shape.  There is the Read, Write, Think interactive for Theme Poetry.  Here is what it looks like. The words can be added inside of a shape. The interactive guides students through the writing process There is a site from WildAboutWoods.org  where a person can choose a shape or draw one of their own and add words inside of the shape. There are word banks to choose from or a person can type in their own words to add to the shape. I like that adding words is as simple as click ...

My Blog Makeover - How I Did It

I love change and and rarely do the same thing over and over.  So a blog makeover was  inevitable .  It takes quite a bit to make a blog look completely different, but I have found ways to make it easier on myself. Here are the resources I used to complete my blog makeover.   I found the background at the Dotty Dot Dot blog.  I chose Summer Sunset and simply had to copy the code and insert it.  I found directions on how to do this here .  I could have use the header (the title at the top of a blog) from this site as well, but I decided it was too plain, so I searched for a different header. Shabby Blogs provided me with a header that fit my background perfectly.  I found directions to change my header here . I wanted to add my blog title to the header, so I used a photo editing site called Fotoflexer .  This was the first time I had used this site and I loved it!  I have since used Fotoflexer for some other projec...
