Supplies for Christmas Tree Suncatcher

Tissue paper
Scissors
Christmas tree template
Pencil
Clear contact paper
Cricut (optional)
Black cardstock
Double-sided tape
Chunky glitter (optional)

Directions

First, download and print the FREE Christmas tree template then cut. If you have a cutting machine, choose your favorite Christmas tree 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. 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 Christmas tree then peel off the backing. Carefully place your Christmas tree outline on top of the contact paper. Your child will need help with this step.
Cover the inside of the Christmas tree with the tissue paper pieces.
Carefully peel off the back of another contact paper and place it on top of the Christmas tree, 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 Christmas tree suncatcher. Use double-sided tape to stick to a window or sliding glass door.
