Directions:
- Step 1: Start by cutting out the Star and Sparkle shapes from the printables.
- Step 2: Place the outline of each shape on the sticky side of the contact paper.
- Step 3: Encourage your child to fill in the shapes with pieces of tissue paper. They can mix and match colors or stick to a patriotic color scheme – there’s no wrong way to do it!
- Step 4: Once the shape is covered in tissue paper, cover it with another piece of contact paper, sticky side down.
- Step 5: Cut out the suncatcher, leaving a small border of contact paper around the edges to keep it sealed.
- Step 6: Hang your child’s creation in a sunny window and watch the sunrays dance through the tissue paper.
And there you have it, a beautiful suncatcher made with love and a touch of patriotic spirit.
