How Do You Make A Suncatcher?
A suncatcher is a decorative ornament that hangs in a window and captures sunlight. The light shines through the suncatcher and creates a pleasing, colorful glow in the room. Most are made of glass, but you can make your own suncatcher with tissue paper. Step 1 Secure two sheets of contact paper together with a paper clip. Then cut a shape of your choice through both pieces to create the base for your suncatcher. Step 2 Peel the backing off one of the cut pieces of contact paper and place it on your work surface, sticky side up. Step 3 Cut or tear pieces of colored tissue paper into roughly 1-by-1 inch pieces and place them all over the sticky surface to decorate. Be sure to cut some pieces carefully to use along the edges of the suncatcher. Step 4 Remove the backing from the second piece of contact paper and stick it carefully on top of the decorated piece. Step 5 Punch a hole in the top of the suncatcher about ½ inch from the edge. Thread through a ribbon to hang up the suncatcher.
