Instructions:
- First download and print the FREE acorn shape printable listed above. You will want to print it out on a single sheet of LIGHT BROWN cardstock paper.
- Next up – use scissors to trim out the outline of the acorn, 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. You want the sticky side facing you.
- Lay your paper cutout on top of the contact paper, face down so it sticks.
- If desired, sprinkle a small amount of loose craft glitter in the inside the shape.
- Now grab your light brown tissue paper and cut it into small squares.
- Have your child place it on the contact paper, inside the design, to make a beautiful mosaic piece.
- Once done, grab the other piece of contact paper and remove it’s protective sheet.
- Then lay it on top of the other piece and press firmly, making sure every corner is stuck together.
- To finish off the Acorn Sun Catcher craft, use your scissors to trim out the design.
- Add the wiggle eyes and use the marker to decorate the piece to look like it’s smiling.
- Then use some tape to display it proudly on a window, so the sunlight can shine brightly through them!
