Materials Needed:
- Large yellow poster board
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Yellow and orange tissue paper
- String or fishing line
- Tape
Step 1: Cutting the Sun Shape
To begin, take your large yellow poster board and use your scissors to cut out a perfect circle. This will be the base of your sun. Make sure the circle is large enough to create a noticeable impact.
Step 2: Adding Sun Rays
Using the remaining yellow poster board, cut out long, thin strips to create the rays of your sun. Aim for at least 10-12 strips to give your sun a full and vibrant appearance.
Step 3: Assembling the Sun
Take your cut-out circle and apply glue to the back side. Carefully place the strips you cut in the previous step onto the glued surface, arranging them evenly around the circle. Gently press down to secure the rays in place.
Step 4: Decorating with Tissue Paper
Now it’s time to add some texture and depth to your sun. Cut small square shapes from the yellow and orange tissue paper. Apply glue to the front side of the sun and carefully place the tissue paper squares onto the glue. Alternate between yellow and orange colors for a vibrant effect.
Step 5: Hanging Your Sun
To hang your sun, attach a piece of string or fishing line to the back of the sun using tape. Make sure it’s securely fastened. Find a suitable location in your home or outdoor space and hang your sun to bring a warm and sunny glow to your surroundings.
