Stained Glass Ornament

By Sherri Osborn, About.com

A great Christmas tree ornament or gift idea shared by Minno.

Materials Needed:

  • Clear, plastic disposable cup
  • Permanent markers
  • Hot glue gun
  • Ribbon
  • Foil

Instructions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray foil-lined cookie sheet with non-stick spray.

Color the cup any way you choose with the permanent markers. When colored to your satisfaction (not all spaces have to colored) place cups on foil-lined cookie sheet and place it in the oven.

Check after a minute and watch closely. The cup will melt and you do not want it to burn.

Each cup will melt in a different shape; play with the placement. Remove from foil when slightly cool to keep from sticking.

When completely cool, make a hole with the hot tip of the glue gun and string a ribbon through the hole to hang in window or on tree.

These ornaments should be made only under close adult supervision.
