Follow these easy instructions to create your own stained “glass” candy corn for Halloween!
Materials:
Black cardstock or construction paper, orange tissue paper, yellow tissue paper, white tissue paper, contact paper, scissors, a pencil.
Instructions:
1. Fold your cardstock in half and sketch half of a candy corn shape as a guide when cutting (see pictures below for examples). Cutting while the paper is folded will ensure you have a symmetrical candy corn!
2. Cut out the candy corn shape. Be careful to center the candy corn on the paper so you have a “hole” in the cardstock paper and the entire paper is not cut.
3. Cut a piece of contact paper just large enough to cover the entire piece of cardstock.
4. Lay the cardstock on top of the sticky side of the contact paper.
5. Allow your child to decorate inside of the candy corn with tissue paper shapes or scraps! The contact paper will ensure all the tissue paper scraps stick inside of the creation.
6. When your child is finished, place another piece of contact paper (sticky side down) on top of the candy corn shape. This will “seal” your artwork and ensure nothing stays sticky!
7. Tape your art to a window, and let the light shine through like stained glass!
