Supplies for Easter Egg Suncatcher

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

Directions

First, download and print the FREE Easter egg template. Trace on black cardstock then cut. If you have a cutting machine, choose different Easter eggs 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 Easter egg then peel off the backing. Carefully place your egg outline on top of the contact paper.
Cover the inside of the Easter egg 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 egg, sticky side down. Smooth it out to get rid of any creases or bubbles.
Finally, cut out the Easter egg suncatcher. Use double-sided tape to stick to a window or sliding glass door.
