This beautiful cross suncatcher craft is a really pretty craft to make as a Sunday school craft or for Easter! This would also make a lovely spring craft or Christian camp craft.
RELATED: Pressed Flower Suncatcher
These suncatchers look so pretty on the window! You can make a collection of them, or just make one and place it in your favorite window spot. These would also look great on a church or school window!
You can make this a two-part activity, collecting and saving flowers and then creating the suncatcher. City park grasses around playgrounds often have lots of wildflowers that will get cut throughout the spring and summer. Picking some of those wildflowers before they are cut are perfect for this activity. You can also use tissue paper to complete the suncatchers. Cut small squares of tissue paper to add to your cross instead of pressed flowers.
If you’ve never made your own pressed flowers, it is really easy! See our simple tutorial how to press flowers.

Supplies Needed
- Pressed Flowers – you can make your own by collecting wildflowers or fallen flowers from your garden. See how to make your own pressed flowers. Or you can order some pressed flowers here.
- Self Laminating Sheets – you’ll need 1 sheet of self laminating paper (if you cut it in half) or 2 sheets if you plan to make 2. Or you can use contact paper.
- Cross Template – you can get the template at the bottom of the post
- Scissors
How to Make a Cross Suncatcher
1. Print off the cross template and cut it out.
2. Trace the cross template onto the clear side of the self-laminating paper or contact paper.
3. Carefully peel off the paper from the self-laminating paper and place it sticky-side up.
4. Add the pressed flowers to the sticky side of the self laminating sheet.
Keep adding flowers until you are happy with the way it looks. You can fill it in really well or leave a lot of space between the flowers, both methods look nice.
5. Add another self laminating sheet on top.
Press firmly down to seal the two sheets together.
6. Cut out the suncatchers.
Cut slightly inside the traced line if you do not want the traced line to be on your suncatcher.
You can hang on your windows with some tape or glue adhesive dots.
These make the prettiest suncatchers for Easter! They also make a beautiful craft to make at Sunday school or bible camp.
