Begin by folding two sheets of cardstock together and cutting out large hearts. You need the hearts the same size, and this is the easiest way of doing that.

We used two different shades of red for our Valentine’s Day heart suncatchers, but pink would be nice, as would purple, too.

Now, with the hearts cut out but still folded, cut hearts out from the inside leaving at least an inch border.

Once cut out, unfold the hearts.

Next, trace the hearts on two sheets of clear contact paper using a marker.

Cut inside the lines to cut out the hearts from the contact paper.

With the sticky side of the contact paper up apply one of the heart outlines to the contact paper. Repeat for other heart.

Then, cut a bunch of pieces of tissue paper. Begin randomly laying the tissue paper on the contact paper.

Once filled, position the other heart over the tissue paper heart, so they stick together. If there is any excess over the edges, those can be trimmed at this time.
