"Stained Glass" Heart

Carol Duvall didn't have to travel to Australia to get the directions for these cute stained glass windows for little crafters to make -- she simply had to surf the Internet. The original directions featured the heart made with cellophane, but here Duvall used coffee filters from her kitchen as an easy substitute.

Materials:

construction paper
colored coffee filters
glue
scissors
pen or pencils

Steps:

1. To dye coffee filters, just place them in water and add a few drops of food coloring. Spread them on a newspaper or paper towel to dry, then iron flat.
2. On a piece of red or black construction paper, draw a heart as pictured. For smaller children, fewer and wider bridges would be left between the different areas.
3. Stack paper on top of another piece of construction paper and with small scissors, cut out heart and all inside areas so both pieces match exactly. Note: For smaller children, use only one layer.
4. Cut out pieces of the dyed coffee filters and glue to the open spaces.
5. Glue the second heart to the first so the colored paper pieces are sandwiched between. Add a string to hang your display in a window.
