Tissue Paper Suncatchers
Moms light up the world like sunshine. As a military spouse who has been through a few deployments, I truly know how friends and extended family can grow closer to you in your time of need. I am so excited to send them some love this Mother’s Day. Tissue paper suncatchers are fun and easy to make, and will bring a smile to the face of a mother you love.
You will need:
- American Greetings tissue paper
- scissors
- glue
- paintbrush (optional)
- an American Greetings card (to deliver the suncatcher in)
Directions:
- Cut or tear the tissue paper into small pieces.
- Glue the pieces together using diluted white glue and a paintbrush, OR use a glue stick to attach the pieces to a square of tissue paper. Either way will work.
- Once the paper is dry, cut out hearts, butterflies, or whatever shape you desire. To make it easier, draw the shapes out before you cut them.
Now you have several tissue paper suncatchers you can slide into your cards, or hang in your own window using double-sided tape.
Make sure the suncatcher is completely dry before you place it into the card.
It is a little difficult to get a picture of a suncatcher in action in the bright Arizona sun. The picture below should give you a general idea how these suncatchers will look once they are placed in a window.
