A Stained Glass Chain, part 1 / Vitraž-lanac, deo 1

To create a stained glass chain we used transparent cellophane in various colors (candy wrappers that we collected), transparent contact paper, wide scotch tape, scissors and a stapler. First we made stained glass, and this post is about it.

Za izradu vitraž-lanca koristili smo providne celofane u boji (omotače od bombona koje smo sakupili), transparentnu samolepljivu foliju, široku selotejp traku, makaze i heftalicu. Prvo smo napravili vitraže i ovaj post je o tome.

V handles scissors quite skillfully, but in order to facilitate  that baby Z can successfully use them too, I cut the cellophane into stripes (a procedure used in Montesoro to master the use of scissors).

V već vrlo vešto barata makazama, ali da bih olakšala bebi Z da i ona može uspešno da ih koristi, celofan sam joj isekla na trake (postupak koji se koristi u Montesoriju za savladavanje upotrebe makaza).



Strips of cellophane were then cut into small pieces.

Trake od celofana su, potom, isekli na male komadiće.

Then I taped a large piece of transparent contact paper to the table, sticky side up.

Potom sam zalepila veliko parče transparentne samolepljive folije za sto, lepljivom stranom na gore. 

Children laid little pieces of colored cellophane on the adhesive surface.

Deca su ređala komadiće obojenog celofana po lepljivoj površini. 


Someone did it like this.

Neko ovako.

And someone did it like this.

A neko ovako.



After they finished, I taped the sticky surface with a wide scotch tape  (as shown in the photo above).

Kada su završili, širokom selotejp trakom sam prekrila lepljivu površinu (kao što je prikazano na fotografiji gore), tako da više ne bude lepljiva. 

This is how we made stained glass that would look beautiful on the window, but we used them as a material for making the stained glass chain.

Tako smo dobili vitraže, koje smo mogli okačiti na prozor, ali mi smo ih iskoristili kao materijal za dalji rad. O tome u sledećem postu.
