apple stained glass craft

Last night, the kids made these adorable stained glass apples! I saw this idea on The First Grade Parade, too.

materials-
construction paper - red, green and brown
tissue paper - red, green and yellow
glue stick
laminator and sheets (or clear contact paper or wax paper)

directions-
1. fold the red construction paper in half and then cut an apple shape out of it
2. fold the apple in half (on the same fold line) and cut the center out - leaving only an outline
3. cut a stem and leaf out of the brown and green construction paper and glue on top of the apple 4. glue the apple outline onto the center of a laminating page or whatever you are using
5. cut the 3 colors of tissue paper into squares
6. glue the tissue paper into the center of the apple
7. seal the apple closed either with your laminator or an iron if you use contact paper - the contact paper will stick to itself
