By Allison Rebenack - Hillsborough, NJ Mac Kid Publisher Mom November 18, 2010

Materials Needed:

Construction paper, 8 1/2" x 11" or larger

fall  colored tissue paper, cut into 1" shapes

craft or school glue

paint  brush

wax paper

tape

scissors

Instructions:

1.  Use an extra piece of paper or construction to draw an acorn, a leaf or any other Fall image.  Cut out your pattern and trace onto 2 pieces of construction paper.

2.  Cut the pattern out so it creates a window effect on the piece of construction paper.  Cut the tissue paper into 1" pieces of various shapes.

3.  Cut a piece of wax paper larger enough to cover the "window" of the construction paper when folded in half.  Cover one "window" with half of the wax paper.

4.  Thin out 1/4 tsp of glue with a couple drops of water.  Paint the glue onto the "window" area of the  wax paper.  Place pieces of tissue paper, alternating colors, to cover the "window". 

5.  Fold over the second half of wax paper over the tissue paper and tape to secure.  Tape the second piece of construction paper over the first and hang the masterpiece in a window.
