How To Make A Planet Suncatcher

May 9, 2023

1st Trip Around The Sun Party Crafts Party Favors

In light of our little man turning one this week with a First Trip Around The Sun themed party, we are learning about space and making a fun planet suncatcher!

They are so easy to make and can be done by kids of all ages. It would make a perfect craft for any Space Party!

(THIS POST PROBABLY CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. OUR FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY IS REALLY BORING, BUT YOU CAN FIND IT HERE.)

Suncatcher Instructions

You’ll need:

Freezer paper (I only had wax paper, but freezer paper would work better)
Clear glue
Tissue paper– cut into small squares, triangles, etc
Construction paper
Scissors
Cardboard for a sturdy work surface
Tape

Step 1: Tape the paper to cardboard

First, tape a sheet of freezer paper to a piece of cardboard. This gives the kids a sturdy place to work, keeps the paper from trying to roll up, and makes it easy to transfer the project to a safe place to dry.

Step 2: Add lots of glue

Next, Paint on a thick layer of glue, covering the entire center of the paper. You will want this big enough to cover the entire suncatcher.

Step 3: It’s time for designing!

Let the kids cover the glue with pieces of tissue paper. Make sure all of the glue gets covered for best results. Also, a single layer of tissue paper will show more light through than multiple layer. You will want to make sure you don’t have multiple pieces of tissue paper stuck together.

Step 4: Make your suncatcher outline

You can use construction paper to create an outline for your planets. Using dark paper for your planet outline helps create a nice contrast when the final suncatcher is put in a window.

To make the outline, cut out a large circular planet shape. Then cut out the center of the shape, leaving a 1 inch border.

Step 5: Attach the outline

Cover the tissue paper with glue to create a protective layer and keep everything flat. Glue the construction paper over the tissue paper and cover this with glue as well.

Step 6: Let the suncatcher dry

Depending on how much glue you use, this might take awhile. Set it in the sun or in front of a fan for quicker drying.

Step 7: Remove freezer paper and hang it up

Finally, remove the freezer paper from the back of the suncatcher design and cut out the planet. You can punch a hole in the top and add yarn to hang it up or simply tape it to a window.

TA-DA!!! You have beautiful suncatchers for your little space explorers to enjoy!

I’d love to hear from you!!!

Let me know if I’ve inspired you today! I would absolutely love seeing your suncatcher creations so make sure you add me on Instagram and Facebook and tag me! I can’t wait to see your creations!
