Pick
base
Pick one color of glitter contact paper as your base and lay the CD on a piece of it.
Trace
CD
Trace around the CD with a pencil.
Cut
out circle
Cut out the circle of contact paper.
Stick
to CD
Carefully peel off the backing from the contact paper and carefully stick it to the non-shiny side of CD so that you’re covering up any writing or designs on the disc.
Stickers will work too—just be sure
to use ones that are shiny or glittery.
Cut
shape for hole
Cut a shape—like a star, a circle, or a heart—out of some contact paper and use it to cover the hole on the shiny side of the CD.
Decorate
CD
Now get creative! Cut out shapes from the other pieces of contact paper and stick them on the CD. You can draw designs and cut them out or use hole punches in different shapes.
Fold or stack two pieces of contact paper
so when you cut out your shape you automatically cut two matching
pieces.
Cut
out 2 shapes
When you’re finished decorating your suncatcher, cut out two identical shapes of contact paper about the size of a quarter.
Create
tab
Peel the backing off of one and stick it to the top of your suncatcher so that half of it is attached and the other half sticks up. Now do the same on the other side, being careful to line up the two pieces exactly, and press their tops together. You’ll hang the suncatcher from this tab.
Punch
hole
Punch a hole through the top of the tab.
Hang
suncatcher
Loop a piece of yarn or string through the hole, tie the ends together, then hang your creation in a window where it can catch some rays.
