Updated April 2025
Want to learn how to make some simple, yet lovely Easter egg suncatchers to decorate your windows?
This is one of our favorite spring crafts—it’s low mess, colorful, and kids of all ages can do it! All you need are a few simple materials, including transparent contact paper, colored tissue paper, and a little ribbon or lace, if you have it.
We’ve also tried these Easter Egg suncatchers with flower petals for a natural touch—or you could combine both for a beautiful blend of color and texture. They look so pretty when the light shines through!
How to Make Easter Egg Suncatchers
MATERIALS
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare contact paper
First, draw and cut out an egg shape on the contact paper, aiming to fill most of the space. Then peel off the backing so that the sticky side is up and tape to the table so it stays in place.
- Decorate your suncatcher
Tear or cut the colored tissue paper into small pieces (we used tissue paper squares cut in half). Press the tissue paper pieces to the sticky contact paper to fill the egg shape. You can also crumple the tissue paper first.
If you have it, you can also use pieces of ribbon or lace to make stripes in your egg.
- Complete the suncatcher
Peel the backing off of a second sheet of contact paper and place over the first. Press all over with your hands to create a sandwich with the tissue paper design on the inside.
Optional: You can also add a border around the edges of the suncatcher with washi tape. - Hang in a sunny window!
You can tape the suncatcher directly to the window or punch a hole in the top and loop a piece of string through for hanging.
We hope you enjoy making these fun Easter suncatchers as much as we did!
