Lovely!! (And perfect timing) I was just going to do balloon prints on paper, using my favorite Biocolor paint, but now will be painting on wax paper!

In reply to Nancy W. Thank you so much for letting me know, Nancy. I had no idea. For me, it shows outside of the body of the post. No-one else has ever let me know it covers the body of the post. If I'd known, I would've moved it sooner. Let me see what I can do about it, and thank you for the heads up!

your site would be much more appealing if you moved that “Shares” bar on the left side of the screen.. I covers part of the instructions and personally it turns me away from trying your projects because I am not going to try to read instructions THROUGH an obstruction on the screen.

This sounds great for my Kdg kiddos. I have a large window I would like to cover and I think I will just attach it with painters tape to make it look like a frame. I will also use the painters tape to cut in some shapes for the stained glass effect.

I’m wonder the same thing is there another sheet of wax paper over top of the painted wax paper before you slid and stamp withy the cap?

Hang the wax paper art on a window by gluing 1″ foam strips to each side, like a picture frame. Then attach 2 small suction cups to 2 corners, and hang in a window.

In reply to Mindy. The frame has to be "empty", Mindy, for the sun to shine through. Have fun!

By: Mindy

Mindy — Fri, 25 Jul 2014 20:24:53 +0000

Does the frame need to be hollow on the inside such as a box within a box for the sunlight to come through or is entirely backed by a cardstock and that will still allow the light to shine through to the wax paper???
I am about to try this with my 5 & 1/2 yr old daughter. It is a special Mommy and Me day while my 12?yrold went to Disneyland with friends.

Would like to share that I did this with the handicapped adults I work with and they turned out beautiful. We used the painted wax paper as a dyed Easter Egg. I had cut out an egg frame from a cereal box painted white and we taped the painted wax paper to the back of the egg frame. Look beautiful on the window !!

In reply to Nikitaland. Glad you liked it! When it comes to using photos, most bloggers are fine with you using a single (one) photo from their blog post, as long as you provide a link back to the original bloggers site for the instructions. It's still a good idea to check with the blogger first (so thank you for asking!). I don't know of any bloggers who would permit you to use more than one photo, or to write up your own instructions for the craft or activity while using photos that are not your own. The general idea is that if you're going to share someone's idea (and we love it when you do), that you direct your readers to that blogger's site in order to get the instructions. Thanks again for checking first. Have fun if you try it at your house!

This is by far the coolest craft project I have seen in a long time! May I do a blog post on this with your photographs of what you created? I want to share this so badly with everyone, not to mention, I want to try this craft too to see what I come up with! Have a great day!

In reply to Trish. You are so welcome! It's so funny that you used the finger paints, Trish, because that's on my to-do list too! After doing it with the other paints, I figured it would be a great project to try with finger paints! So glad it worked well for you! I can't wait to try it now. And yes, who knew the humble, little milk cap would come in so handy?

By: Trish

Trish — Fri, 19 Apr 2013 19:46:52 +0000

My 4-year old and 5-year old (and Mommy, of course!) did this project today. I had the same paints you used, but ran out of several colors early, as we didn’t have much in the little jars to begin with. We then used Crayola washable fingerpaint. This worked better, because then they could just squeeze it out of the tube. They weren’t really getting enough on with the paintbrush anyway, so this worked great! Will let them dry tonight and make frames tomorrow. BTW…a milk cap works wonderfully, as you showed above. The cap gives some texture to the art and almost makes it looks leafy. We tried a yogurt cup too, but liked the results better with the milk cap. Thanks for the idea!
