Even though this kids’ craft requires few supplies and is quite basic, it is sure to be a hit! With some tissue paper, contact paper, scissors, and some yarn, you can add some Valentine’s Day love to your windows!
I happened to have just some pink and white tissue paper on hand, however you can use as many, or as few, colors as you would like! Start by cutting the tissue paper into small pieces, doesn’t matter the shape, but I’d say keep the size to an inch or less. This would be great for little hands to practice some cutting skills!
Draw your heart shape (I used a sharpie) on the clear, smooth side of the contact paper to use as a cutting guide later. Take the paper backing off, lay on a table sticky side up, and let your kiddos go to town placing pieces of tissue paper inside the heart shape. And it’s okay to have the pieces overlap.
Once they have filled the whole shape, put another piece of contact paper on top to sandwich the tissue paper between the sticky sides. Cut out along the line, hole punch, add some yarn as a hanger and display your kids’ beautiful sun catchers in a window!
Thank you for this. We have lots of tissue paper and I was thinking what we could do with it. Little one will love this
Cute! I’ll have to do this with the kids soon!
Such a cute project and I think it is perfect for my 2 year old! Thank you for sharing! Sending some SITS Comment LOVE!
I remember making tissue paper sun catchers in school when I was young. It’s a fun and easy craft that I am sure my kids will enjoy. Great craft for holidays like Valentine’s Day. Visiting from SITS.
What a fun idea! You could do this with so many holidays!!
How cute! I could even make that and not suck at it. I then saw the Kids craft tag and I knew why I could make it! My craft level is about 11 year old girl.
That’s so pretty and such a fun project! Pinned it! 🙂 Sharing the #SITSBlogging love! 🙂
I love this idea! Its so cute and simple and I know my daughter would love it! #SITSBlogging

Adorable project! Thank you so much for sharing. I love crafts. #SITSBlogging love.
Absolutely brilliant! I think my Godson and I will make these… but with shamrocks (since I won’t see him before Valentine’s day!) So glad to pop by for another visit!
Heck, my grandson is only a few months old… when he lives here we can do this with very small people. Imagine the fun of that! (I wish I had these ideas when I was a young mom!! I’m making up for it now, eh?)
Thanks again!
This is an awesome idea! My daughter loves cutting things and would love making this!
So cute! I would love to try this for other holidays!
This is easier than how I’ve done it – with clear gelatin. This will be my new method for sure.
Super cute and easy idea! Thanks for linking up to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Party. I have pinned your post to the Bloggers Brags Pinterest Board.

I love how the fun colors brighten up our windows on dreary winter days! They would be so fun to make for other seasons or holiday. 🙂 Thanks for stopping by!
This is so cute! My kids will love this, and I think I already have all the supplies on hand!
Thank you Meredith! It’s such an easy craft, but the kids always love making it!
