Preparation

Creating the Suncatcher

  • Cut two sheets of contact paper, each about the size of the spider cutout.
  • Peel off the backing from one piece of contact paper and lay it sticky side up.
  • Place the spider cutout in the center of the sticky contact paper.
  • Use colored tissue paper, glitter, or other decorative elements around the spider, sticking them to the adhesive surface.
  • Peel the backing from the second piece of contact paper and lay it over the decorative side, sealing everything in.
  • Press firmly to eliminate air bubbles.
  • Trim any excess contact paper around the edges of your suncatcher.
  • Use tape or string to hang your suncatcher in a sunny spot where it can shine!
