Prep the Contact Paper: Lay the Easter egg template face down on a piece of contact paper, with the sticky side facing up. This will hold everything in place as you work your magic!
Add Some Color: Tear or cut tissue paper into small pieces in a mix of bright, happy colors. Stick them onto the contact paper, filling in the egg shape to create a colorful, mosaic effect.
Trim It Up: Once your egg is fully decorated, use scissors to carefully trim away any extra cardstock and contact paper around the edges. This will give your suncatcher a clean, polished look.
Display & Enjoy: Hang your finished Easter egg suncatcher in a sunny window and watch the light shine beautifully through the colorful tissue paper. It’s like having a mini stained glass masterpiece!
