Easter Stained Glass Art

April 14, 2017

Have you tried making stained glass art with your kids?  It's super easy to create, and you only need a few supplies.  Easter art projects are always a hit, and these adorable stained glass creations are so fun for kids and enjoyable for grown-ups too!  Love it!

Materials needed:

  • Watercolor Paper
  • Watercolors
  • Paint Brush
  • Easter Egg Shaped Cookie Cutter
  • Black Tempera Paint





We used the same stamping technique to create our paper flower garland.  Have the kids stamp egg shapes over their entire paper.  For this project, it works best when the egg prints overlap.





Once your paper is full of egg shapes, its time to all a little color.  Like a coloring book, use the watercolors to fill in all the white spaces.  Easy Peasy!





It may take a bit of patience to paint all the little areas.  However, we had so much fun painting and chatting.  I love that this little project turned it into family time around the table. Notice that the cookie cutter prints are not totally connected and slightly imperfect.  That totally adds a little interest and dimension to the piece.


These are easy and perfect for most any age! Enjoy!
