By Makenna (2)

This is a fun way for your kids to help decorate for St. Patrick's Day!

Materials:

• Wax paper
• Tissue paper (greens, yellows)
• Liquid glue
• Water
• Bowl
• Paint brush
• Permanent marker
• Scissors

Directions:

1. Take a half sheet of each color of tissue paper. Fold up and cut into 1 inch square pieces. Does not need to be a perfect square.
2. Take a piece of wax paper and draw shamrocks with a permanent marker.
3. Mix about one teaspoon of water with one tablespoon of glue together in a bowl.
4. Paint an area of the shamrock with the glue mixture and layer on a few colors of tissue paper. Paint the glue over the top of the tissue paper. Continue until the shamrocks are covered completely. 
5. Let the glue dry and then cut out the shamrocks.
6. Hang it on a window to look like stained glass art.

Tips:

• You can use some of these same steps to make other pictures for any time of the year. For example; flowers, stars, pumpkins, snowmen.
