first you will need to gather these things

1.thin cardboard (Such as what cereal boxes are made from .)
2.a drawing of sort to make your sun catcher of

After you have cut all of your design out .
Take your tacks and tack around everything you have cut out ,inside and out on top of the transparent paper protector and magazine or cork board

the next and near final part is here. Pour your white glue into the parts you cut out of your design and wait for it to dry

When the glue is dry with no plastic exposed carefully undo the thumb tacks and pull your dried sun catcher off the protector . If you notice spots where there is no glue before you pull it off just put some more glue there and and let dry . I had to do this before i was done i did not tack it enough was the problem

You can use watercolors to give them color, but i did not.

I hope you enjoyed this instructable
