Turn your front door or window into a beautiful autumn leaves stained glass with contact paper and leaves! This is a fun craft that brings seasonal color indoors.
Updated September 2024
We’ve made stained glass windows for our front door using flowers before. It’s a fun and lovely way to display the colors of the season. So why not try it with Autumn leaves, too?!
We love gathering colorful fall leaves so much that we’re always on the lookout for them. This is a great way to use all of those collected leaves AND decorate your front door (or window if you have a door without glass).
Autumn Leaves Stained-Glass Window
MATERIALS
- Colorful Autumn leaves
- Transparent contact paper
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cut your contact paper
First, cut your contact paper to fit inside the space you will decorating (window or door frame) and peel off the backing. Sometimes it helps to tape the contact paper to your table or workspace, so it doesn’t curl up.
- Add leaves!
Next, add autumn leaves face down to the sticky side of transparent contact paper. We’ve found that it’s best to use freshly picked leaves.
- Stick to window
Finally, simply stick the contact paper to your window or door. Step back and enjoy the beautiful stained glass you’d created!
The best part about these stained-glass windows? When you’re ready for a change, just pull the contact paper off the window and make a new one!
Aren’t these leaves beautiful with the sun shining through?
