• Take the ruler and lay it flat on the paper (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally).
• Trace the outline with your pencil.
• Continue tracing the outline with your pencil while switching up which way you lay the ruler until the paper is filled with lines.

The paper should look as follows with different angled lines all across the paper until the paper is filled.

• Apply elbow grease (Elbow grease is when you put your arm on the table and color as hard and as dark as you can on the paper).
  • Do not worry if break a couple of crayons while coloring.
  • You are free to use whatever design and color scheme you may like. Try not to make boxes next to each other the same color and try not to use too light of colors.

Here is how the Stained Glass Window should look after applying the baby oil. It should have a glossy look to it.

• Hold the Stained Glass Window up to the sun or some type of light (You should be able to see straight through the paper after this step).

• Insert 2 holes at the top of the paper with a hole puncher.

• Insert the string into each hole and start to knot each side separately.

• Tie the string two times at least for the string to be tight.

• Here is a view of the hand motions of how the string should be tied and knotted.

• Cut off the extra string so any excess string hangs off (make sure the string is tied where it is fitted to the hole, no excess space).

• Here is how the knotted string should look after cutting off any excess string.

• Stick the tack above the window and hang your Stained Glass Window up.

• Here is how your finished DIY project should look hanging above any window of your choosing.
