I always fall back on the sun catcher idea for any holiday....

It's so easily adaptable that anyone can do it!

Do you just do it with wax paper?

Do you just do it with wax paper?

Construction paper for the border, contact paper (taped to the table sticky side up) and tissue paper.

Super easy and super cute!

INSTRUCTIONS

STEP 1 :: PREPARE CONTACT PAPER.

First, tape a piece of contact paper on your table, and peel off the backing so that the sticky side is up.

Then use construction paper and create an egg shape border so the kids just fill the egg shape with tissue paper.

STEP 2 :: DECORATE YOUR SUNCATCHER.

Press pieces of ribbon or lace inside the egg shape (perhaps to make stripes).

Tear or cut the colored tissue paper into small pieces. Then press the tissue paper pieces to the sticky contact paper to fill the rest of the egg shape. Crumple first, if desired.

STEP 3 :: COMPLETE THE SUNCATCHER.

Peel the backing off of a second sheet of contact paper and place over the first. Press all over with your hands to create a sandwich with the tissue paper design on the inside.



STEP 4 :: HANG IN A SUNNY WINDOW!

You can tape the suncatcher directly to the window or punch a hole in the top and loop a piece of string through for hanging. Enjoy!
