Spring flower sun catchers
Hello! These are what we spent our afternoon making yesterday! After a showery start to the day, the sun finally came out, so we took a little walk and collected some flowers along the way. Nothing beats spring flowers to cheer me up and I love having them in the house. We were in the mood for some crafty time, so we made these pretty suncatchers after we got back home with the flowers that we had picked.
You’ll Need:
flowers/leaves/blossom
clear sticky back plastic
coloured paper
We cut an oval shaped frame out of our pretty pastel coloured paper, then cut two pieces of sticky back plastic that were big enough for the frame to fit on.
Put one piece sticky side up on the table, and stick the frame to it.
Arrange your flowers in any pattern that you feel like.
When you’re happy with your arrangement of flowers, carefully stick the second piece of sticky back plastic that you cut out over the top. Trim around the outside edge of your frame and stick up at the window.

April 11, 2014 at 07:41These look amazing! I would probably make these even if I didn’t have children to craft with! I love crafts that involve other activities too (really stretching it out!) such as going for a walk to collect the materials.
