Stained Glass Pumpkin

I made this stained-glass pumpkin with my Literacy Clinic client the other night and thought I would share the project in case you would like to try it. Once the pumpkin is completely dry (which it is not in the picture) it is beautiful.

Materials
Glue
Plastic cup
Paper plate
Foam brush
Water
Small pumpkin
Tissue paper (many colors)
Paper towel
Scissors

Directions
1. First, make sure the pumpkin’s surface is clean using a paper towel and place pumpkin on paper plate.
2. Mix glue and a small amount of water in a plastic cup.
3. Cut multi-colored tissue paper into squares about 2 inches by 2 inches.
4. Next, use foam brush to brush glue and water mixture over the pumpkin.
5. Place tissue paper over the glue mixture to decorate the pumpkin.
6. After all tissue paper covers the pumpkin brush one more layer of glue mixture over the pumpkin to seal the tissue paper.
7. Allow to dry and you now have a stained glass pumpkin.
