Last week, when Lala was home sick, towards the end of the day, she was feeling a bit better and wanted to take advantage of some (now, sadly rare) alone time with mamma. She picked from our selection of kid art/craft books, flipped through, pointed, and said "I want to make this with you, mamma." So we made.
This wasn't our first time making "stained glass" from glass jars and tissue paper, but we certainly had not done it in a very long time. (My parents have a candle holder she made when she was 3 or 4, just in this way.)
The results were simply, beautifully satisfying.
The inspiration came from the book shown, Eco Art by Laurie Carlson, and is full of all sorts of wildly fun recycle crafts. (We have another crafting book from this series, which we also like.)
