Various colors of tissue paper, White glue and water (plus small plastic lid to hold the glue), Paintbrush (1/2" wide), Wide mouth short canning jar (baby food jar might also work), Votive candle

1. Mix glue and water together in a 1 to 1 proportion.

2. Tear tissue paper (or punch out shapes using decorative punches such as flowers and hearts).

   With the paintbrush, spread a little glue on the upside-down jar, and place a piece of tissue paper on top. Continue pasting tissue paper on the jar until it is covered. When it is covered, the child can glue the punched out designs in a border or design (upside-down so when it is finished, it will be right-side up) paint a thin coat of glue on top of all the paper. Let dry. Be sure the paper is not taller than the top of the jar and do not fold over the rim to the inside of the jar (fire hazard).

3. When it is dry, add a votive candle. When the candle is lit, the jar will look like stained glass.

   Remind the children that candles are only for adults. They should never try to light them or play with them.
