CRAFT CORNER - Pierced Sun Catcher

Posted in CRAFT CORNER

These colorful, perforated window decorations can really brighten up a room when sunlight shows through all the pinholes. These would also make nice ornaments to hang on your Christmas tree. You could use them to decorate gift bags and boxes with, hang from the mantle and even a lamp shade.

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

Colored paper or cardstock (if you only have white cardstock, just give it a quick paint with some watercolors, then let dry)

Stencil (optional)

Pencil (optional)

Corrugated cardboard

Pushpin

Thin string or thread

To begin, cut our a simple shape from the cardstock or use a stencil and pencil if you are more comfortable, then cut it out being careful not to leave any stencil marks showing.

Place the shape on top of the cardbard and pierce the paper with the pushpin, creating a pattern of straight lines and/or swirls.

Loop a piece of string or thread through one of the holes near the top edge of the sun catcher, and it's ready to hang.
