2 StarsDifficulty:
What you need:
  • 5-inch by 6-inch piece of cardstock
  • Light blue paint
  • Medium blue paint
  • Darker blue paint
  • Brown paint
  • Yellow paint
  • Pen
  • Two sheets of green construction paper
  • Scissors
  • Craft glue

What you do:

  1. Cut out 16 green construction paper leaves - they should look a bit like poplar leaves.
  2. Cut around the edges of each leaf to create a fringe.
  3. Paint the bottom half of the cardstock yellow.
  4. Paint a thin brown stripe above the yellow half. (The brown stripe should be in about the center of the cardstock.)
  5. Paint a light blue stripe above the brown stripe. This stripe should be twice the size of the brown stripe.
  6. Paint a medium blue stripe, the same size as the light blue stripe, above the light blue stripe.
  7. Paint a darker blue stripe, the same size as the previous stripe, above the medium blue stripe.
  8. Paint two brown triangles on top of the yellow background. These are pyramids.
  9. When the paint is dry, draw bricks on the pyramids with the pen.
  10. Glue the leaves around the front edges of the painting to create a frame.
  11. Hang this awesome window up for everyone to admire!
