Instructions
- Download and print the shamrock template. Click the link in the materials list to access the free printable by subscribing to our craft newsletter.
- Cut out the shamrock frame. Carefully follow the outlines of the shamrock suncatcher template with scissors. Because the shapes are curved, younger children may need a little help.
- Place down the shamrock outline. Lay the shamrock template onto the sticky side of the contact paper or self-seal laminating sheet. If using white cardstock shapes, be sure the printed side faces down.
- Add the tissue paper. Fill the suncatcher frame with tissue paper shapes, trimming pieces as needed to fit smaller details like the shamrock stem.
- Seal the design. Once the tissue paper is in place, cover it with a second adhesive sheet to secure everything. Then carefully trim around the edges of the suncatcher frame with scissors.
- Hang your window decorations. These contact paper suncatchers add a bright splash of color to any window. Use double-sided tape or sticky tack to display them.
