- 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 wing design} to really add some sparkle.
- Now grab your tissue paper and cut 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 popsicle design to remove the excess paper.
- To finish off the Tissue Paper Swan Suncatcher, adhere a wiggle eye to the finish piece.
