Tissue Paper Stained Glass Window

I love this Mother’s Day card because it uses one of my favourite materials – contact paper – a super sticky translucent material that is great for crafts and activities with kids. The idea for this card was to create a simple stained glass window on a card using brightly coloured tissue paper and contact paper. The results were wonderful and it was a lot of fun to make.

How to Create the Tissue Paper Mother’s Day Card

1. Grab a sheet of card stock. Fold it in half to create a card.

2. Lay the card stock out flat and cut out a rectangle on the front of the card using a box cutter.

3. Take your contact paper and cut out a sheet large enough to fit across the rectangle on the card.

4. Peel the back off the contact paper and stick the paper on the inside of the card with the sticky face out.
5. Cut out tissue paper into squares and hand them to your little one.
6. Invite them to decorate and cover the entire sticky paper (or contact paper) with the tissue paper.

7. For older kids have them write their own message inside the cards.
