Stain Glass Pattern

Students will have so much fun fracturing and coloring in their paper by following these steps:

• Crumple a half sheet of paper. After re-opening the paper, examine the tons of tiny, fractured shapes and folds.

• Create a “stained glass” look using a pencil or ultra-fine permanent marker to outline every shape. It’s fun to see the look on students’ faces when you casually mention this!

• Color in each shape, using colored pencils for a soft look or markers for a bold one. Alternate colors so that no two shapes with the same color are touching.
