What You Will Need:

  • contact paper
  • black construction paper
  • butterfly or other template
  • tissue paper
  • scissors
  • yarn or twine

Create Your DIY Suncatcher:

  • Trace the butterfly template onto a piece of black construction paper and cut it out.
  • Fold the butterfly shape in half and cut about an inch from around the outline of the shape.
  • Cut a piece of contact paper just larger than the butterfly.
  • Peel the backing off and stick the frame to the sticky side.
  • Cut a variety of colors of tissue paper into small squares and place on the contact paper with some overlapping.
  • Take a second piece of contact paper, peel off the backing, and place it sticky side down on top of the butterfly.
  • Trim the excess contact paper off around it and cut out a little hole into one of the butterfly wings.
  • Run the yarn through and tie in a knot. Now your butterfly is ready to hang in the window. You made a suncatcher!
