We love these tissue paper hearts! We were inspired to make them because we love making papel picado so much. But we added a fun twist and turned them into suncatchers!

These tissue paper hearts are easy to make, making them the perfect craft for kids of all ages. All you need are some colorful tissue paper squares, contact paper, and scissors.

The results are stunning, and they brighten up just about any window with their cheerful colors.

MATERIALS

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut heart shape and fold

    To begin, cut a heart out of tissue paper. You can make two or three at a time, since the tissue is so thin.

    Then fold the heart as if you were making a paper snowflake, which is essentially what we are doing.

  2. Cut shapes

    Next, just like with a paper snowflake, cut out shapes. You can even cut out a few little hearts.

  3. Open!

    Next, open up your paper heart doily and lay it flat!

  4. Create your suncatcher!

    Trim a piece of clear contact paper large enough to cover the heart.

    You can layer contrasting tissue paper hearts and sandwich them between two sheets of con-tact paper to make the suncatchers.

Lastly, hang your suncatchers in the window and let the sun shine in!
