Colorful Sun Catchers

We always have seasonal sun catchers hanging on our kitchen door but I had a hard time coming up with a sun catcher for August. During a trip to the Lakeshore store I saw these and decided to make a simpler version. When I set out the materials, Julia had her own idea of what she wanted to make (yeah!).


To create a frame for her sun catcher Lauren attached 9"x 1.5" strips of black construction paper to the perimeter of a nine inch contact paper square.


She placed several colors of tissue paper squares on the contact paper and glued sequins to the frame.


Julia created a flower using tissue paper for the stem and leaf. The flower sequins made lovely petals for her flower.
