How to make it
Step-by-Step Instructions for Making an Easter Egg Suncatcher: 1. To begin, print the template of your child’s favourite Easter egg design. Cut out the template and trace it around black cardboard.
2. Stick the Easter egg outline to a sheet of contact paper or self-adhesive laminating paper. You need to make three traceable eggs.
3. Make little squares out of your coloured cardboard or tissue paper. Stack the tissue paper squares on top of the contact or laminating paper. Don’t worry if you go outside the outline; it will be cut later!
4. Place another sheet of self-adhesive laminating paper or contact paper on top of your completed Easter egg and firmly press down. When laying down the final sheet, be sure to keep it flat to avoid any bumps or air bubbles.
5. Trim the edges of your Easter egg. Then attach it to your windows using double-sided tape or hang with a piece of yarn or string.
