It’s time to splash your windows in green and celebrate St. Patrick’s Day!While it may not be as big of a holiday as Christmas, Halloween, or Valetine’s Day, don’t let that stop you from having fun with it. Here are a couple of fun projects for window decorations that you can sit down and do with friends and family, or just by yourself.St. Patrick’s Fake Window GlassSupplies:

• Wax paper
• Crayons
• Pencil sharpener
• Kraft paper
• St. Partick’s Day stencils or shapes

Let’s Get Started:

• Take the stencils or shapes and trace their shape with a pencil onto the wax paper.
• Cut out the shape from the wax paper, carefully.
• You are going to want to cut out two of the above (front and back) for each shape.
• Decide what colors you want to make your shapes (multiple colors are encouraged).
• Put the wax paper on a piece of kraft paper to protect the surface you are working on.
• Use the pencil sharpener and create crayon shavings of your chosen colors. Let the shavings fall evenly on the wax paper.
• Place the second piece of wax paper on top of the shavings.
• Put a piece a kraft paper over the top wax paper, to protect your iron.
• Iron the paper lightly on medium heat, lifting the kraft paper and check on your project every 3 passes over the paper with the iron.
• Once all the shavings are melted, let the project cool.
• Once cool, attach each shape in your window and enjoy the homemade stained glass for the holiday.

St. Patrick’s Day Window ClingsSupplies:

• Green and yellow puffy paint (or whatever other St. Patrick’s Day colors you want to use)
• Wax paper
• Uncomplicated St. Patrick’s Day templates

Let’s Get Started:

• Place the templates on the table with the wax paper over them (waxy side up).
• Trace the lines of the template with the puffy paint on the wax paper with nice thick lines (the larger lines make it easier to move later).
• Let it dry overnight.
• Peel your new St. Patrick’s Day Clings from wax paper and apply to windows.
