What better way to get your kids ready for Valentine’s Day than by making festive crafts together? Add a splash of color and a whole lot of love to your house with this heart suncatcher! It’s the perfect way to spread love and creativity while adding a touch of color to your windows.
Let’s Make A Heart Suncatcher!
Supplies:
- 2 paper plates
- 1 coffee filter
- red paint
- washable markers
- 1 cotton ball
- tape or glue
- scissors
- string or yarn (optional)
Step 1: Cut hearts (the same size) out of both paper plates. The paper plates will serve as the frame for your suncatcher, so the cut out hearts should be a little smaller than the coffee filter.
Step 2: Paint the plates with red paint and let them dry.
Step 3: Use the washable markers to create a design on the coffee filter. Be creative!
Step 4: Run the cotton ball under water, then squeeze out some of the excess. It should be wet, but not dripping. Dab the cotton ball all over the coffee filter to moisten it, causing the colors bleed together. Let the coffee filter dry completely.
Step 5: Glue or tape the coffee filter between the two paper plates.
Step 6: Tape the suncatcher to a window that gets a lot of sunlight. Or, you can punch a hole through the top of the paper plates and loop the string or yarn through it. Hang the suncatcher outside in a place that gets a lot of sunlight.
