Earth Day Stained Glass Craft Template (FREE Printable Download!)

This unique stained glass craft template guides you in creating a faux stained glass masterpiece using materials that might otherwise end up in the recycling bin. By repurposing items like old berry containers (or whatever clear plastic you can find), this project beautifully demonstrates the power of upcycling and imaginative design.

To create this recycling craft for kids, simply trace the template onto clear plastic from recycled containers, cut out the shapes, and decorate them with dye and Mod Podge. The pieces are then assembled using a glue gun and copper-colored glue sticks, with a final bead of glue around the edges to mimic the look of traditional stained glass.

The result? A dazzling DIY stained glass craft that catches the light and serves as a beautiful example of sustainable creativity.
