How To Make the Rainbow Tie-Dye Suncatchers Craft:

You will need just a few supplies for this craft:

Dot Markers
White Tissue Paper (or coffee filters)
Paper Towels
a Window!

Use white tissue paper and cut them into flower and circle shapes. You could also use coffee filters in place of the tissue paper. Both work great!

Next, fold the shapes in half a few times just like you are making a snowflake- into triangle-like shapes.

Use dot markers- or regular markers if you don’t have dot markers- and press them down until the ink soaks through the layers. You will likely have to flip it over and do the back side, too. Use lots of colors to make fun patterns.

You will want something underneath the paper, as it get’s pretty messy. That’s where the paper towel comes in.

After the papers are fully colored, let them dry for a few minutes before unfolding them. The paper tears very easily when it is wet, so be really careful. You may want to do this step for your kids so they don’t rip theirs and get frustrated. Open them up and then let the suncatchers dry completely before hanging them.
