Nanny Anita’s Stained Glass Pasta Sun Catchers

I first saw these stained glass pasta sun catchers on a brilliant blog called Babble Dabble Do. It is such a brilliant idea – so vibrant and easy to do with young ones.

Make sure you follow my craft board on Pinterest for more ideas, and don’t forget to save the pin for later.

You will need:

• Lasagne sheets
• Sharpies
• Contact paper/sticky back plastic

Begin by breaking up the sheets of lasagne. This is fun for little ones to do, just watch out for flying bits of pasta. You want all different shapes and sizes.

Then colour in each piece a different colour. I would recommend doing this either outside or in a well-ventilated place, as the fumes from the Sharpies can be a little overpowering at times.

Cut a piece of contact paper (the type that you cover books in). I thought I had clear plastic, turns out it was slightly green! Oh well, it still worked.

Arrange your broken bits of pasta onto the contact plastic and press down to make sure they stick.

Finally turn it over and colour in the space between each bit.

This should dry really quickly, so you don’t have to wait around for it. When it is ready, all you need to do is find a window to stick it to using Blu-Tack.
