Kids Valentine Craft – Stained Glass Hearts

I was determine to do some Valentine craft today with the kids before we ran out of time.  I had an idea in my head of what I wanted to do, but we couldn’t find the type of paper I needed.  While picking up some other bits and pieces from the grocery store, we found A4 laminate sheets on special and decided to grab some for the craft cupboard. I had a look around Pinterest for inspiration and then it finally came to me, lucky we grabbed those sheets!

The steps are pretty self explanatory I think, but you can see more instructions by clicking on or running your mouse over each photo below.

Ms 5 cutting the cellophane up into squares. I drew a large heart on the back of some silver card then cut it out with scissors. I then cut the centre out with a Box cutter. Ms5 placed the pieces into the laminate sheet, using the middle of the heart under to give her a rough guide of the area she needs to cover. Mr3 having a go, not quite understanding 'don't crumple them up!'. Ms5 puts the close sheet into the laminator. Mr9 prepared the heart boarder with double sided tape. Double sided tape on the frame. Mr9 cuts away the excess 'glass' from the frame after sticking it down. The back. Stained glass heart window. IMG_4582

The similar projects I have seen on Pinterest use clear book contact, which you could also use if you don’t have a laminating machine.  The laminate sleeves give a much clearer finish though.  I was worried at first that the cellophane might melt as it went through the heat, but it was fine.
