DIY Stained Glass: The Crucifixion

February 29, 2016Activities, Crafts, February, Lent Standard

We adore Thee, O Christ, and we bless Thee!
Because by Thy holy Cross, Thou has redeemed the world!

A few months back, we posted super simple instructions on making your own stained glass. The project received tons of great feedback. So much that we wanted to share a template for a new stained glass image: the Crucifixion.

For the printable template, click here or on the image below.   We used a standard 24 pack of fine point Sharpies for this project, but this template has been designed with simple solid colors, making it easy to substitute colors based on what color Sharpies you have available.

This project is a “must try” because it turns out beautifully – regardless of how old the artist is.  🙂  I think it must have something to do with the Sharpie permanent markers; the permanent ink again the clear plastic turns out very bright and bold…and catches the light so nicely!  (If you haven’t tried this project before, you can find the instructions on our earlier post,  Saint Michael Stained Glass.)

We decided to put our stained glass on the front door – this way we can share a little bit of the solemnity and beauty of Christ’s sacrifice with all who enter our home.

How do you hang these?
They are beautiful!

    Hi Allison!
    Thanks so much! In the pictures above, the stained glass is just resting on the window frame, but we have use very tiny scotch tape loops before. Because the project is so light-weight, it doesn’t need much to keep it in place.

    God bless,
    Gemma from CP

Hi! Your stained glass project looks great, but I really love your statue shown through the window. Would you mind telling me where you got it? Thanks so much!

    Hi Pam,
    Thanks so much! 🙂 We actually purchased the statue for our mom for Mother’s Day a few years back. It came from a local Catholic supply store in the metro Detroit area that unfortunately does not sell online. However, the name of the statue is Our Lady Seat of Wisdom (or Sedes Sapientiae). I hope this helps! Please feel free to contact me at ann@catholicplayground.com if you have further questions.

    In Christ’s love,
    Ann from the Catholic Playground

What a beautiful template! I am now planning on using this for my Religious Education class sometime before Good Friday. Thanks for the idea!

    Ann March 10, 2017 at 4:06 pm -

    You are so welcome, Maria! Please visit again soon and let us know how the project turns out!

    In Christ’s love,
    Ann from the Catholic Playground
