Show your affection
Stained glass hearts are excellent products that can be used to show your affection for someone. However, if you are good with your hands you do not have to worry about buying them as anyone with good handyman skills and the right equipment and supplies can make them on their own.
Teach your children a new craft
It is also possible to teach children how to make stained glass hearts. The good part is that it will not take more than a few hours for them to complete their stained glass hearts. All that is required is for them to start by laying wax paper which should be of a sufficiently large size. Next, they will need to take some crayons which should be sharpened and the shavings should be allowed to lie on the paper. After that, make use of a grocery sack (that is flat and made of paper). On this sack, lay out the waxed paper with the shavings on it and then take another waxed paper sheet and lay it on the first one. Use a heated iron to press the paper sack and the two surfaces of the sack should be pressed till the shavings have been melted.
Now, allow the paper to cool and then cut hearts out of the cooling paper and shavings. With the help of a permanent marker you can create desired messages on the stained glass hearts. In this simple way, you can create your own stained glass hearts and also teach your children how to make them.
It is important to cut a handful of small sized stained glass hearts and one can also make full use of a craft punch to create the desired hearts which can then be placed inside a Valentine card. To make your stained glass hearts look more exact it is recommended that you make use of a cookie cutter that is shaped like a heart. This will help you to get the shape right.
After creating your stained glass hearts be sure to write some catchy messages which should express your feelings in an eloquent manner. When the ironing of the stained glass hearts is being done, you should do this on your own rather than allow your children to do so. Also, be careful that you never allow the iron to remain in one spot for too long as that would cause the paper to burn up. As long as you follow these tips, you will not find it difficult to make your own stained glass hearts.
