Today we made simple sun catchers using paper plates which I thought I would share.
Equipment needed to make a paper plate Christmas tree sun catcher:
paper plate
scissors
coloured squares of cellophane
contact paper
string
hole punch
How to make a paper plate Christmas tree:
Cut out a tree shape from the center of a paper plate and cover it with a piece of contact paper.
Cut the cellophane squares into small pieces and place over the cut out Christmas tree.
Make sure there aren’t any gaps! When you have finished cover the other side of the paper plate with contact paper, trim if necessary.
Punch a hole in the top of the paper plate and thread with string to hang in the window.
What a lovely idea, and very effective, like a stained glass window……..well done, BB and LS…xxxx
What a lovely idea! I’m just popping by from the Monday Parenting Pin Party – I’ve pinned this post to my home made Christmas decorations board. (Mum’s the Word on Pinterest)

What a lovely simple creative idea. It looks great in the window.
Thanks for sharing #LetKidsbeKids
We have done something similar recently, my daughter had to decorate a bauble (paper plate) for the school fair competition, we cut out the middle and did the same thing with sweet wrappers and then made an angel with foam and wool to go on top of the wrappers, it looked good with the light coming through it. #letkidsbekids.

What a lovely idea, we’re taking part in a childrens Xmas party at our local nursery and this is such a good idea. The children will love it and not to much mess so the teachers will be happy.
