CATHEDRAL WINDOWS The paper that will form the dividers between the stained glass effects is done with black paper.  Construction paper will do but is a bit heavy.  I try to get typing paper weight, or I use the rolls of paper for bulletin boards and precut the pieces to 8 inch squares.  Fold the paper in half and then into quarters.  Fold this into triangles placing folded sides together. Repeat once more.  (If you ever cut paper snowflakes this is the way you fold them.)  Cut along the folded sides ONLY cutting slits, triangles, squares, hearts and circles.  If you cut the center tip do NOT cut more than ¼ inch from the tip. Also do NOT cut the unfolded outer edge.  Unfold the paper and smooth it flat. To create the stained glass take old crayons and a plastic knif and scrape a light layer of shavings onto a square piece of waxed paper.  Three colors works well.  The shavings may be placed into rings or stripes or just scattered.  Do not cut chunks of crayon.  Place a second sheet of waxed paper on top of the first sheet and the shavings.  Using a dry iron set on medium heat. Carefully iron the two pieces so that they melt together.  A few light swipes should do.  This will also melt the crayon shavings creating  a rainbow effect. Do NOT let the iron rest on one spot or the colors will melt together.  Students may do all the parts up to the ironing, but I suggest that an adult do that portion.  This will not harm your iron.  If there are too many shavings they might ooze out the sides, so be careful that all shavings are well within the edges. Place the stained glass behind the black cutout and tape or glue the edges together.  These will look best if hung in a window or back-lighted.  A large grouping truly looks like a cathedral window.    **WARNING** These will look great and you may think about making them more permanent.  Use contact paper, but DO NOT LAMINATE.  This will dull the colors of the already melted crayons and will cause the colors to blend making a muddy appearance.
