Supplies for Fall Leaf Suncatchers

Directions

First, download and print the FREE leaf templates then cut. You can choose one design or all. If you have a cutting machine, choose your favorite leaf image in your design space then cut. Set aside.
Next, allow your child to select the tissue paper colors they want to use to make their suncatcher. We decided to use fall colors. Then cut the tissue paper into small pieces. If you’re not comfortable with your child using scissors, let them tear the tissue paper by hand.
Cut a piece of clear contact paper that is larger than the leaf template then peel off the backing. Carefully place your leaf outline on top of the contact paper. Your child will need help with this step.
Cover the inside of the leaf with the tissue paper pieces.
Carefully peel off the back of another contact paper and place it on top of the leaf, sticky side down. Smooth it out to get rid of any creases or bubbles. Your child may need help with this step.
Finally, cut out the leaf suncatcher. Use double-sided tape to stick to a window or sliding glass door.
