Patriotic Sun Catchers

We love to hang seasonal sun catchers on our kitchen door. These Fourth of July sun catchers were easy and fun to make.



Materials and adult preparation:
  • clear contact paper cut into nine inch squares
  • 1" x 9" strips of red, white, and blue construction paper. Use a star craft punch to punch little stars from the strips.
  • 4 1/2" stars cut from red, white, and blue paper
  • Red, white, and blue glitter

Procedure:

  • Remove the back from the contact paper and place on table sticky side up.
  • Place the strips of construction paper around the edges of the contact paper to create a border.
  • Place a large star in the center of the contact paper. Use the small stars and glitter to decorate the sun catcher.
