Making “Stained Glass” Lanterns

I wanted to do something about light and how we carry God’s light with us for my birthday party and after some google-ing found this idea for making stained glass lanterns.

It was fun seeing all the creativity and color people used 🙂

People melted grated crayons between two pieces of wax paper with an iron:

Here’s what one lantern looked like after melting and before folding:

And there was a lantern shaped birthday cake, not sure how well you’ll be able to tell from the picture.

thank you to all my “models”…Several people asked for recipes. If you comment on my blog I will type out the one you want for you. Check facebook for more pictures of party attendees 🙂
