Description

Create a colorful Rainbow Apple Suncatcher to celebrate the start of the school year, bringing joy and creativity into your home or classroom.


Materials

  • Wax paper or transparency sheets
  • Colored tissue paper (red, green, yellow, etc.)
  • Scissors
  • Mod Podge (or regular glue)
  • Paintbrush
  • String or fishing line (for hanging)


Instructions

  1. Draw or print an apple shape template on a piece of paper.
  2. Cut two pieces of wax paper about the same size as your apple template.
  3. Cut your colored tissue paper into small pieces or squares.
  4. Lay one piece of wax paper flat and start gluing the tissue paper pieces onto it.
  5. Place the second piece of wax paper on top to seal the tissue paper in between.
  6. Trim around the apple shape to remove any excess wax paper.
  7. Apply a light coat of Mod Podge around the edges and attach the string or fishing line for hanging.
  8. Allow the suncatcher to dry completely, which may take a few hours.

Notes

Encourage kids to layer different colors of tissue paper for a beautiful effect. Use a paintbrush to apply glue neatly to reduce mess.
