This 'Son-Catcher' Butterfly was created using the Chrismon-Kids
Butterfly pattern.
When the SON Catches you...you are
changed! 2 Corinthians 5:17
Just as broken crayons can be used to make a
thing of beauty; God uses us, 'broken and sinful people', to create
beautiful examples of his grace! (See Ephesians 2:1-10). ~ Sarah Keith

How to make a Stained Glass Sun
Catcher:
You will need wax paper, old crayons, scissors, an
iron, a pencil, a pencil sharpener, and a Christian pattern. Trace the
pattern onto a piece of wax paper. Fold the wax paper in half. That way
when you cut out the picture you will have two sides, for a front and a
back. Sharpen the crayons into shavings, and sprinkle them onto one side
of the wax paper. Leave about a half inch around the crayons to the edge
of the wax paper. (The wax paper will make a seal so the crayons will
not fall out.) Then, place the second piece of wax paper on top. Place a
thin towel over top and iron on low to medium heat. (Enough to melt the
crayons and wax). Let the sun catchers cool, cut around the edge
of the pattern and punch a hole in the top then hang with a string on a
window. Enjoy!
Optional: Using a black permanent
marker, trace over the pattern onto the wax paper and the lines will
resemble the leading in a real stained glass
window! |
