Name of Project

Stained Glass Pumpkin

Ages This Project is Suitable For

6 &+

Approximate Time Required to Complete This Project

15 minutes + dry time

Materials Needed

Glass jar or container

cardboard

Orange stain glass paint

paint brush

green raffia

tea candle or LED candle

Instructions

This is very simple and quick to make. Take your glass container, could be an ivy bowl or fish bowl or any jar, and squirt in some orange stain glass paint. Take the paint brush and paint the inside of the jar, make sure to get all of the inside of the jar covered. Turn the jar upside down on cardboard to dry. (This way extra paint will run out the top of jar onto the cardboard) Once dry, tie a piece of green raffia around the top and add a tea candle or LED candle.

Tips and Tricks

  • IF using a real candle, please make sure that the raffia is short enough that it won't cause a fire.
  • This looks nice with autumn leaves scattered around the bottom of the jar on a table.
