Supplies for Flower Suncatcher

Colorful tissue paper
Scissors
Black cardstock
Pencil
Clear contact paper
Chunky glitter (optional)
Flower template
Cricut (optional)
Double-sided tape

Directions

First, download and print the FREE flower template. Trace on black cardstock then cut. If you have a cutting machine, choose different flower images in your design space then cut. Set aside.
Next, 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 contact paper that is larger than the flower then peel off the backing. Carefully place your flower outline on top of the contact paper.
Cover the inside of the flower with the tissue paper pieces. Once finished, your child has the option to add chunky glitter.
Carefully peel off the back of another contact paper and place it on top of the flower, sticky side down. Smooth it out to get rid of any creases or bubbles.
Finally, cut out the flower suncatcher. Use double-sided tape to stick to a window or sliding glass door.
