Heart Tissue Paper Suncatchers

by Angela Thayer 6 Comments

We had so much fun making heart tissue paper suncatchers over the weekend! It was the perfect craft for my little ones and it added some cheer to our windows! It is very simple and a great way to decorate for Valentine’s Day!

Here’s what you need:

  • tissue paper cut into squares
  • contact paper (found in the Home section in Wal-Mart or on Amazon)
  • tape

Tissue paper

Cut a heart out of the contact paper. Then tape it to the window. Next, simply have your child place the squares of tissue paper onto the heart contact paper.

It’s really simple and beautiful!

I loved how they turned out…the pictures don’t do justice on showing how beautiful they look on our window!

Then we did a variation of the craft. We covered the heart-shaped contact paper with tissue paper, but also added the phrase “I Love You to Pieces!”. Then I placed another sheet of contact paper on top. I cut around the edges to get rid of tissue paper sticking out. It turned out really cute! I think it would be a perfect preschool craft for Valentine’s Day and a gift to a grandparent!

If you want your own copy of the phrase, just right-click on the picture below, save it to your computer and then print it out.

Love You to Pieces

Happy Valentine’s Day to you!

    Have you thought about wadding the tissue paper before sticking it to the contact paper? I bought a Disney Princess project from Dollar Tree for my granddaughter some time back, and crumpling the tissue paper made the gowns extra fancy. She was so proud of them, we had to display them for longer than most crafts. It’s really easy, and it would turn these hearts into something more 3-dimentional. (Although it will take about 3 times as much tissue.)

    IS the contact paper easy to remove from the window? I’ve never used it before, but I wanted to try this project soon! 🙂

    Thanks!

      I just stuck 3 small pieces of tape to the back of the contact paper heart (since only 1 side is sticky and that side is facing out so the kids can put tissue paper on it). So it is not hard to get of your window. 🙂
