A Journey Through Time: Medieval Era: Stained Glass Windows

Bring a touch of medieval magic to your windows with this simple craft inspired by the stunning stained glass of medieval cathedrals. A great low-mess activity that’s easy to set up and full of colour. Fun for toddlers and teens alike!

What You’ll Need

  • Sticky backplastic (contact paper)
  • Tissue paper
  • Scissors
  • Black card (optional for window frames)
If you don't have contact paper try this:

Use two layers of cling film! Lay the first layer on the table and lightly dampen it. Stick your tissue paper pieces on top, then cover with a second layer and tape the edges together. Works best if displayed flat or in a window with light behind it.

Ideas To Try

Cut a simple ‘window frame’ out of black card and stick your stained glass behind it

Create a medieval design like a rose window, castle silhouette, or knight’s shield

Stick two sheets together and cut out a shape (heart, cross, star) to hang up
