Windowsill Lithophane
This is a simple project to add a splash of art to any window.
Supplies
A few pieces of paper
Glue
Scissors
Pencil
Eraser
Sketch Your Design
Come up with a design, and lightly sketch it on a piece of paper. You can also print out a picture, but I prefer to make mine from scratch.
Cut It Out
Next, cut out your design, taking care to get a clean edge. Try to cut out as many pencil lines as possible, but if not, we will handle those in the next step.
Erase Remaining Pencil Lines
With your eraser, carefully erase the leftover pencil lines from your sketch. Don't rip the page though.
Glue the Papers Together
Last, all you have to do is take a second piece of paper and glue it to the front of the first. Make sure that there is an even line of glue as you will see it in the light.
Hang It Up and Enjoy
Now that you have a lithophane, all that's left to do is hang it up somewhere bright like a window. This method can be easily adapted for more complicated multi-layer lithophanes, but I am keeping it simple. Good luck, and happy lithophane making!
