3 Tissue Paper Crafts With Pictures:
Here are 3 super easy tissue paper crafts for Sunday school or home! You don’t need much, just some supplies and a love for the Lord. 🙂
1. Suncatcher
This beautiful sun catcher is so fun! Kids can use these in their windows at home, or at church in your class.
Supplies Needed:
- Tissue Paper (colored) – you can find this usually at Dollar Tree, Walmart, etc., or Amazon!
- Modpodge and brush – you can also use Elmer’s clear drying glue
- Wax paper
- Popsicle sticks (optional) and string
- Scissors – we love these for kids!
Step By Step Instructions:
1. Take a piece of wax paper and start applying a thin layer of mod podge onto the wax paper. Use a brush to apply glue.
2. Now add pieces of tissue paper on top of it. It’s time to get creative.
3. Keep adding pieces so that there are as few gaps as possible.
4. Apply another layer of mod podge over the pieces.
5. Let your project dry completely. Once it dries, cut it out in the shape you want to make.
6. You can make a frame around the suncatcher with popsicle sticks by simply gluing them onto the wax paper. Colored popsicle sticks would be a hit!
7. Then, add some string or yarn, whatever you have available, for hanging your beautiful suncatcher.
Lesson Plan Idea:
This would be great for a summertime lesson! You can read any of these Bible verses about Summer, and remind kids that God shines His light into darkness.
John 9:5 is a great one to read and help them memorize!
The darkness that is in our world, and our hearts, but His light overcomes it! And it’s beautiful, just like His love is for us.
2. Rainbow
A beautiful reminder of God’s promise to never flood the Earth again, and also of His MANY promises to us!
Supplies Needed:
- Coloring page printed on white 8.5 x 11 cardstock (see steps below!)
- Tissue paper (colored)
- Elmer’s clear drying glue or any school-type glue
- Scissors – we love these for kids!
Step By Step Instructions:
1. Find a coloring page and print it onto cardstock paper – you can use any of these free rainbow ones!
2. Cut tissue paper into small squares.
3. Squeeze glue onto the coloring page.
4. Crumple up the tissue paper and place it on top of the glue.
5. Continue putting glue on the page. Crumple tissue paper and put it on top until your page is complete!
Lesson Plan Idea:
This is also a great summer lesson, to remind kids of what the rainbow stands for and why God created it!
Read the story of Noah in Genesis 9 and God’s promise never to flood the Earth again, as well as these other amazing promises of God for kids.
3. Flower
This super simple tissue paper flower craft is so fun and easy, and would make a very cute tabletop decoration as well!
Supplies Needed:
- 1 sheet of colored tissue paper per person
- Scissors – we love these for kids!
- 1 green pipe cleaner per person
Step By Step Instructions:
1. Take your sheet of tissue paper and cut it into quarters. Make a pile of the quarters, fold them in half, so it looks like a rectangle, and cut along the fold. You should now have eight rectangles of tissue paper.
2. Make a neat pile and fold them into an accordion (short edge). Once you have folded them, take a pipe cleaner and wrap it around the center.
3. Once the center is secured, fan out the paper folds and start to pull them towards the center of the flower; do this layer by layer. This takes a little time as you want each layer puffed so that your flower is full when you are finished; put your flower in a vase and make more!
Lesson Plan Idea:
Talk about how God makes beautiful things like flowers, trees, the ocean, and of course… you and me! Read through Genesis and God’s creation to accompany this craft too.
The great thing about this tissue paper craft is the kids can choose whatever color “flower” they want, and even make multiple to put in a jar or vase.
I think this one would make for a beautiful Mother’s Day gift. 😉
These would be a fun craft at home as well when building your home garden and getting kids excited to learn about nature and God’s creation.
