Tissue Paper Pumpkin Sun Catchers
Bring the warm, glowing colors of autumn into your home with beautiful tissue paper pumpkin sun catchers. When hung on a sunny window, these crafts act like stained glass, illuminating the room with vibrant shades of orange, yellow, and red. This craft is highly visual and offers a wonderful lesson in light, transparency, and color mixing.
To create the frame, cut a pumpkin silhouette out of black construction paper or cardstock, then cut out the center so you are left with a black outline. Place the outline onto a sheet of clear contact paper. Children can then tear or cut small squares of orange, yellow, and gold tissue paper and press them onto the sticky contact paper inside the pumpkin frame, overlapping the pieces to create a beautiful, textured mosaic. Once the space is filled, seal the back with another sheet of contact paper and trim around the edges. Hang these beautiful pumpkins in your sunniest windows to watch them glow warmly throughout the bright October days.
