Another Easy Paper Crafts – Faux Stained Glass Idea

Have you looked at our Easy Paper Crafts – Faux Stained Glass yet?

Here’s another application – similar, yet slightly different.

How about using quilt block patterns to make your stained glass pattern. Here’s a version of the baby block pattern used for the faux stained glass.

Instead of crayons, this faux stained glass uses coloring pencils on tracing paper. The pencils color more consistently, and the tracing paper allows for the transparency.

With a compass and a ruler, you can make your own baby block pattern and size the blocks however you want.

Here is the pattern we used:

As you can see, the pattern repeats and gives the impression of three dimensional blocks stacked on each other.

The size shown here fits into a 5 x 7 frame.  The backlighting shows the colors of the faux stained glass. A green construction paper surrounds the pattern with the zig-zag of the top and bottom baby block pattern cut into its border.

Determine the size you want your faux stained glass to be and add more of the blocks as needed.
