Making a heart suncatcher is an easy, low-cost way for kids to create a Valentine’s Day window decoration.

Primary TechniquePaper Crafts
Materials List
-
Clear contact paper
-
Variety of tissue paper colors
-
1 sheet of 8 1/2×11″white paper
-
Yarn or ribbon for hanging loop
-
Optional: 2 sheets of red construction paper
-
Optional: glitter in color of your choice
Instructions
-
Cut the tissue paper into small pieces and shapes. I cut mine in a range of 1/2″ pieces to tiny confetti sizes. Place piles of tissue paper within easy reach on the table.
-
Draw your heart design on the white paper, using the black marker. If you want “perfect shaped” hearts, you can use a stencil, or fold/cut a heart shape out of a piece of scrap paper and trace that. Make different sizes for a fun window display!
