St Patrick's Day Suncatcher
This St Patrick's Day suncatcher craft looks so pretty hanging in front of the
window! You will need:
Tissue paper in all the colours of the rainbow, plus gold if possible
Laminator and two pouches (or contact film)
Thread
Instructions:
Cut out an arch for the rainbow from the red tissue paper. Use the red arch
to help you draw and cut out an orange arch. Keep going until you have all the
colours.
Lay out your rainbow on the inside of the laminator pouch, cover and seal.
Cut out the rainbow making sure that you leave a sealed edge all around the
outside. If you do not have a laminator you could seal your rainbow between two
layers of contact film. This will be quite tricky and is probably best done by
an adult.
Cut out a shamrock from green tissue paper. From dark tissue paper cut out a
pot and from gold (or yellow) some gold coins. Arrange these in the second
laminator pouch, seal and cut out.
With a needle, thread a piece of thread through the top of the shamrock and
one end of the rainbow, knotting the ends to secure. Fasten the pot of gold to
the other end of the rainbow in the same way. Add a piece of thread to the top
of the rainbow to hang.
Hang your mobile in front of a window and let the sun shine through it.
