Thank you to one of our visitors for sending in this idea.
Nicole used this project with a large group of kids. Here are her
tips for this craft idea.
Tips for Stain Glass Window craft:
Use an iron that you do not intend to use on fabric again because the crayon can seep through the wax paper and ruin the iron for future use
Use the name brand wax paper its worth the extra money the cheap stuff doesn't have the same look and it rips really easy
An old pencil sharpener works better than a grater its really hard to grate a crayon also if you heat the crayon slightly before grating or sharpening it works much better
Cheap waxier crayons are better the name brand are just too hard the waxier the better because they are softer
This is a super cute craft but is not very good for large groups
If you cut a design out of two pieces of black construction paper and put the melted crayon between them its really cute!
