Easter Egg Suncatcher/Wreath
Madeline shares instructions for making a fun egg wreath using colored tissue paper and a few other supplies.

Materials Needed:

  • Cardboard
  • White or colored construction paper
  • Tissue paper
  • Glue stick
  • Markers
  • Lanyard/string
  • Suction cup for hanging(optional)
Instructions:
Cut an egg shape out of the cardboard, about 6 inches long. Use this as a template to cut out 5 or six eggs from the construction paper. Then, draw different shapes and patterns on each paper egg that you can cut out. Once all the shapes are cut out of each paper egg, glue pieces of tissue paper to the back of the eggs to cover the holes. The light will shine through the tissue paper to give a suncatcher effect.

Next, decorate the other side of your egg (the side with no tissue paper) with markers, or whatever you want. Glue the eggs in a circle, fattest end toward the middle, to form a wreath shape. Put a loop of lanyard or string at the top to use for hanging.
