American Flag Suncatcher – 4th of July Craft

american flag suncatcher 4th of julyI keep getting reminders about my town’s 4th of July Fun Run so today I decided it was time to dust of the red, white, and blue craft supplies and get busy. I have too many craft supplies in my house and this giant 4th of July American Flag Suncatcher did a great job of using up odds and ends and turning them into something amazing!  I think this flag is amazing. My kids are 5 ( today!) and 8 and they loved this but even toddlers will love this 4th of July craft.

Gather your materials. You will need some contact paper, some washi tape or painter’s tape, some markers, and a BUNCH of fun red white and blue collage materials. We have sparkly foam, popsicle sticks, pom poms, foam hearts, paper circles, and more. 4th of july craft for kids

Peel the backing off the contact paper and tape it to the wall / window sticky side out.  Draw an outline of the flag on the sticky side of the  if needed. Pop the tray full of collage materials next to the contact paper. 4th of july sticky window art project
