I love the way these tissue paper suncatchers look so vibrant in the sunshine. They’re very easy to make and even toddlers can make their own masterpiece. You’ll need a laminator to make this version, which you can buy: Cathedral A4 Laminator with Jam Release
Choose your favourite colours and create your design on the laminator pouch
Put your finished design through the laminator
You might like a Matisse inspired square design
Or you can add texture by scrunching the tissue paper
A heart shape would make a lovely present.
To make the heart shaped suncatcher, we arranged the tissue paper in the heart design on the pouch and then cut round the outline after it had been through the laminator machine.
Ever inventive, the girls have taken the suncatchers and turned them into stained glass windows in their story tent.
And if you’re enjoying creating with tissue paper, you might also like this flower craft.
