Butterfly Sun-Catcher with Printable

suncatchers-002

Sun-catchers are one of our favorite types of crafts to make. They are fun to make and always turn out really cute. See: Turtle | Heart | Earth… You only need a few materials — the printed template, scissors, contact paper, and tissue paper cut into small squares.

Open & Print: Butterfly Sun-Catcher Craft



Directions:
1. Have your child color the butterfly. They do not need to color the center holes on the wings that will be cut out.
2. Cut out the butterfly (just follow the outside line).
3. Cut out the center of the wings. (Poke a hole in the center with your scissors, carefully cut along dotted line.)
4. Tape down a piece of contact paper to the back of your butterfly. The non-sticky side should show through the wing when you look at it from the front.
5. Add tissue paper.
6. Press down second piece of contact paper over the tissue paper to seal it together, creating a complete window. (So – contact paper, tissue paper, contact paper – with no sticky sides visible.)
7. Trim any contact paper that sticks out from around the butterfly.
8. Tape to your window!

Note: Wax paper can definitely be used in place of contact paper. You will just have to add glue to make it sticky. Same process otherwise!
