How to make a Flower Petal Suncatcher
- Cut the centre out of a paper plate
- Cut out a circle of sticky back plastic (contact paper) that is slightly bigger than the hole in the paper plate
- Stick the sticky back plastic (contact paper) to the bottom of the plate (sticky side up)
- Add petals (or leaves/ grass etc)
- Cut out a second circle of sticky back plastic (contact paper) and stick it on top of your design.
- To hang the sun catcher up use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of the plate and add a loop using strip or a pipe cleaner.
These suncatchers are so easy to make and they look beautiful hanging in the window. If you enjoyed this you might like to try some of our easy outdoor art activities or take a look at some more nature art.
