Hello everyone! Did you catch my Studio Monday video on the Simon Says Stamp blog last week? If you missed it, you can see it here!

I am sharing a new DIY paper crafting project in celebration of National Craft Month! Have you ever noticed how pretty washi tape looks when light shines through it? It’s gorgeous effect! This made me think; how awesome would washi tape look as a DIY sun catcher? In a word, pretty!

I had a blast making these and really, you just need a few simple supplies I bet you already have on hand:

  1. washi tape (who doesn’t have a ton of this laying around??)
  2. a frame die of your choice (I featured the Wrapped Stitch Heart Frames, Woven Circle Ring, Floral Bloom Oval and Avezzano Butterflies frame dies from Memory Box)
  3. heat resistant acetate/window plastic

I want to mention the heat resistant acetate/window plastic specifically. Ordinary clear plastic sheets could potentially warp from the heat of the sun filtering through the sun catchers. Heat resistant will be able to withstand the heat and should not warp. I’ve had one of these sun catchers hanging in my window for about a month now and it gets direct sunlight every day from morning until late afternoon. I had used the heat resistant acetate to make that sun catcher and it has not warped at all.

These are so much fun to make and SO easy (plus a great washi tape stash-buster!). You definitely will want to watch the video to see how I made these cuties!

Thanks so much for tuning in today; I’ll be back later this week with more inspiration for you!

    Beautiful! And such a fun and creative idea!

    Nina, these are simply adorable and as you probably know by now, I made 2 before I even commented over on YT! They are easy and fun to make and I know my grandsons will love having them hang in their bedroom windows. I used clear acetate for the ones I made but might use vellum next time just for fun. I totally wish I had that beautiful wide Washi from Altenew…Its on my wish list you can be sure. Thanks for sharing such awesome ideas!
