For this bright flower petals sun-catcher craft, any available blooms you select will create a lovely effect. We used different flowers we had on hand from old bouquets. Here, we used a mix of tulip, daffodils, cherry blossoms and daisy petals to create an 8-pointed star shaped display. If you have a school-aged child, it is very likely they already know how to make one using two (2) squares, forming the corners of a compass or a geometric looking Sun. Roses would also make a fantastic choice by the way!
Here is what you need:
This is such an lovely way to decorate a window during any of the wonderful spring and summer festivals, or for a nature study on small plants and the stars! And, I think this would also make a thoughtful handmade Ramadan gift for anyone taking part, or interested to know more about this time of spiritual reflection for so many around the world.
The entire process, once the petals were ready, took about an hour, we hope you too will like it! And if you currently live in the southern hemisphere, simply switch the petals for some pretty leaves. After all, the autumn light is also quite exquisite… Enjoy! 😀
