Rainbow Suncatcher Crafts

One of my favorite activities is planning holiday-themed crafts to do with my grandchildren while they are at my house. I especially love when those crafts can be easily displayed and shown off to my friends, or spur adventures and imagination.  Rainbow suncatchers are a beautiful way to start hunts for leprechauns and pots of gold!

Materials

• red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and violet tissue paper
• contact paper
• painter’s tape or masking tape

Directions

1. Cut the contact paper into a rainbow shape and place sticky side up on a table.

2. Tear up pieces of red tissue paper and place on the sticky contact paper in an arch. Repeat for the other colors.
