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
- Draw or print an apple shape template on a piece of paper.
- Cut two pieces of wax paper about the same size as your apple template.
- Cut your colored tissue paper into small pieces or squares.
- Lay one piece of wax paper flat and start gluing the tissue paper pieces onto it.
- Place the second piece of wax paper on top to seal the tissue paper in between.
- Trim around the apple shape to remove any excess wax paper.
- Apply a light coat of Mod Podge around the edges and attach the string or fishing line for hanging.
- 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.
