How to Make Stained Glass Easter Eggs

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Fold and cut your egg

   First, fold your sheet of construction paper in half vertically and draw a half egg on one side. Cut through both layers of paper to create your symmetrical egg.
   
   

2. Draw shapes on your egg

   Next, draw shapes along the center fold line of your paper egg and cut them out.
   
   Note: You can also cut them out directly, without drawing them first, as when making a paper snowflake.
   
   

3. Add more shapes

   Open your paper egg, then fold both sides inward.
   
   Draw, then cut, more shapes along both folded sides of the paper egg.
   
   

4. Add ‘stained glass’

   Finally, use a glue stick to glue colored tissue paper to the back of your Easter egg (the side with the white pencil markings).
   You can do strips of different colors or use one sheet of tissue paper for the entire egg.
   
   Trim the edges if necessary.
