Sun-Catcher

I am in the long process of learning how to navigate through craft stores - there are so many supplies to be found, that it can get overwhelming at times! One item in particular I have become familiar with is the mini-wreath circle. Just a plain circle with a cutout in the center, but add a little to it, and you and your kids can make a very special sun-catcher!

Place mini-wreath on top of a piece of waxed paper, trace around the outer circle and cut it out. Using a water/glue mixture, cover waxed paper with any color(s) tissue paper pieces. When the tissue paper dries, it will stiffen. Before gluing the tissue paper circle to the back of the wreath, slip a piece of ribbon or string through the cutout in the center and tie it - this way you'll be able to hang it.

You can decorate the outside of the sun-catcher any way you'd like - with stickers, or one of my favorites, by gluing decorative stones around the outside. For a little more imagination, try turning your sun-catcher into a porthole, by adding some fish stickers to the middle, and gluing pony beads around the edge!
