Heart Tissue Paper Sun Catchers
Dress up all areas of your home to celebrate Valentine's Day, including your windows! Use Skinny Craft Sticks to form a heart, then cover in tissue paper. The see-through qualities of the tissue paper will allow the light to pass through to make a beautiful sun catcher!
Step 1. Gather your supplies.

| Step 2. Using the heavy duty scissors, have an adult cut one Skinny Stick in half. |
|
Step 3. Glue (2) Skinny Sticks together in a "V" shape, as shown. |
| Step 4. Glue a half piece and whole Skinny Stick to the top of the left side of the "V" shape as shown. |
| Step 5. Repeat step 4 on the right side to complete your heart, as shown. |
| Step 6. Paint the heart and let dry. |
| Step 7. Use a Red Glitter Stick as a hanger for your sun catcher. Add Pony Beads for some added interest! |
| Step 8. Place your heart with the painted side down on a piece of wax paper. Pour craft glue onto a paper plate and apply to the backside of the heart frame using a foam brush. |
| Step 9. Lay a strip of tissue paper onto the frame and apply glue on top. |
| Step 10. Continue to cover the frame with strips of tissue paper in different colors. Once complete, flip the frame over and apply more glue on top to secure. Tip: If the tissue paper rips, don’t panic! You can always add more layers of tissue paper on top of cover any rips. |
| Step 11. Allow the sun catcher to dry completely before hanging. |
