Stained Glass Easter Eggs

This is a fun and pretty decoration to make for Easter. Here's what you need:

Clear contact paper (can be purchased at Wal-Mart or Target)
Colored tissue paper, cut into little squares

1. Cut out two squares from your contact paper (make sure they are roughly the same size). Depending on the size you want your egg to be, the size of your sqaure will be determined by you. I made mine 4"x4".
2. On one of the squares trace or draw the shape of your egg with a pencil, on the clear side. Peel off backing and place tissue paper squares onto the sticky side, staying inside your egg outline.
3. When finished with the tissue paper, take your other contact paper square (the one that is blank) and peel off backing and place on top of your egg, sticky side down.
4. Using scissors, cut out your egg by following your pencil outline.

Now you have a lovely stained glass Easter egg! I have done this activity with my kids and my oldest one enjoyed it the most. Working with the contact paper can be a little tricky since it's so sticky, but with adult help it shouldn't be a problem. We have also done this for other holidays. We hang them in our windows and they look really pretty and festive!
