Nature suncatchers are a great way to connect with nature while getting creative. Whether your daughter is a nature fanatic or you’re just looking for a fun reason to get outside, this DIY project is perfect. Let's gather some supplies and get started on making these beautiful nature suncatchers!

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 8 Popsicle/Craft sticks
  • Markers
  • Scissors
  • Hot glue gun and glue sticks
  • Contact Paper or Press’N Seal
  • Twine rope
  • Leaves, flower petals, anything you find on your nature walk

How To Make Your Nature Suncatcher:

Step 1: Make your frame. Use your markers to color your craft sticks. 
Step 2: Then use the hot glue to make two square frames. You will need two frames to hold the contact paper in place. 
Step 3: Measure and cut your contact paper. Cut a long piece of contact paper, and use your frame to measure two frame-sized pieces of contact paper. 
Step 4: Now it’s time for your nature hunt! Go out and find your favorite things in nature.  The more colorful the better!
Step 5: It’s design time. Peel off the paper from the contact paper and lay it down flat. Place your nature findings on the sticky side of your contact paper. 
Step 6: Then unpeel the other piece of contact paper. Seal in the objects by placing the second piece sticky side down onto the nature findings. I trimmed the edges for a cleaner look.
Step 7: Cut a piece of twine long enough to use to hang your suncatcher. 
Step 8: Next, put your frames together. Glue the contact paper to one side of your frame.
Step 9: Then glue your twine to make a loop from hanging. 
Step 10: Now glue the other side of your frame together. I had to trim a little around the edges.
Hang this project in a window to catch the sun or on a bedroom wall as decor. Either way, it’s a beautiful way to celebrate the summer season!
