You Will Need:
-small glass jar (we used a baby food jar but you can use any size glass jar you want)
-Modge Podge (watered down Elmer's glue will also work)
-foam brush
-small squares of colored tissue paper
How To Make It:
Pour your Modge Podge (or watered down glue) into a disposable container or paper plate (we used plastic paint trays).
Once you thoroughly coat your jar, start adding the tissue paper squares. You can overlap them, too, for more of a "stained glass" effect. Keep adding tissue paper squares to cover your jar.
As you add pieces you can even paint over them to smooth them down, because the Modge Podge (or watered down glue) will dry clear.
It's okay if the tissue paper wrinkles a bit. You can smooth it out or keep it wrinkled- it still makes for a nice effect! Then let your jar dry. We added a battery operated tealight inside of it when it was done.
My son did this one all on his own (and he's five!). If I had done it myself I might have added more tissue paper at the top to cover the glass spots that were showing. But who am I to tell this little artist what to do?
These make great little teacher gifts! We used ours in our "Milo Memorial," which we set up to honor our beloved doggy, Milo, who passed away in July.
