Valentine's sun catchers

Kids and I decided to make sum catchers to hang in the kitchen. I wanted to use tissue paper. Everything I found said contact paper. Well not a common item in this house lol. 
What we used:
Wax paper
Construction paper
Modge podge
Tissue paper cut in small squares
Glue
Scissors
Paint brush
Ribbon (to hang)

First I cut wax paper and folded in half about the size of piece of paper.
 Then we applied modge podge with sponge brush over one half of the wax sheet (we left folded in half. 
Next kids applied tissue paper as they wish. Quickly some spots I had to reapply modge podge. (I'm sure glue would work too) 

Then once kids were done we then applied modge podge all over tissue paper lightly. And folded wax paper over on top of tissue paper and pressed! 
We let it dry. 
Next we cut hearts out of construction paper and glued to wax paper I used a glue stick for this just press on it. 
Then cut the excess wax paper off. 
Next glue ribbon on top of heart.
Allow glue to dry and then hang and enjoy!
