What you’ll
need:
- Fresh flowers (wildflowers, daisies, or any of your favorite blooms)
- Wax paper
- Iron
- Scissors
- Ribbon (for hanging)
How to make it:
- Press your flowers between two sheets of wax paper, then carefully iron them (make sure to use a towel over the wax paper to avoid any mess).
- Once the flowers are pressed flat and dry, cut them into fun shapes or arrange them however you like.
- Attach the flowers to clear contact paper or use a frame to make your suncatcher.
- Hang it up in a sunny spot and watch as it comes to life when the sunlight shines through!
