Craft Supplies:
- STAR PRINTABLE – on box.com
- Clear Contact Paper
- White Cardstock Paper
- Color Printer
- Paper Scissors
- Stapler
- Glue Stick
- Crepe Paper {red, white and blue}
- Loose Craft Glitter
Directions:
- First grab and print the provided file on a single sheet of white cardstock paper. You need ONE printout per craft.
- Next, use your scissors to trim out the blank star design, as well as the center of it.
- Now grab your contact paper and cut two pieces the same length.
- Take off the protective paper off one and lay it on a flat surface.
- Lay your paper cutout on the sticky side of the contact paper, face down.
- If desired, shake some loose craft glitter on top of the contact paper {inside the design} to really add some pops of color.
- Now grab your crepe paper and tear several small squares pieces off.
- Have your child place those pieces on top of the contact paper, inside the design, to fill it in with color.
- Once done, grab the other piece of contact paper and remove it’s protective sheet.
- Lay it on top of the other piece and press firmly, making sure every corner is stuck together.
- Now cut around the design design to remove the excess paper.
- To finish off the Tissue Paper Patriotic Star Suncatcher, tear and staple THREE long strips {one of each color} of the crepe paper, to the design. This way it looks like a shooting star or firework.
- Finally, display proudly on a bright window or on the kitchen fridge with a few pieces of clear tape!
