With Easter just weeks away, why not spend this Sunday getting a jump start on decking out your home with proper spring-like decor. We love the idea of making stained glass windows, which originated in Europe and became popular after the first millennium in churches as a way of celebrating the continuation of life, as an elegant way of celebrating Spring.
What You'll Need:
- Black or pastel colored construction paper
- Aluminum foil (12" x 15")
- Paper towel (plain, undecorated)

What You'll Do:
- Create a Scherenschnitte egg.
- Lay down a sheet of aluminum foil.
