Helpful Tips:

Where can I get pressed flowers to make this suncatcher craft?

If you’d rather make your own, you can press flowers from your garden or yard. Just keep in mind that it takes a bit of time for them to dry completely. For more details and tips and tricks, check out our full how to press flowers tutorial.

Can I make a pressed flower suncatcher without a mason jar ring?

Absolutely! While mason jar rings give the suncatcher a charming, polished frame, you can definitely get creative with other options. Try using a mini embroidery hoop, small paper plate with the center cut out, or even a cardstock or scrapbook paper frame cut with scissors or a craft knife. As long as your contact paper is sealed behind a sturdy frame, it’ll work beautifully!

Will the flowers in this DIY suncatcher fade over time?

Yes, pressed flowers will naturally fade over time — especially if they’re in direct sunlight. That’s part of their delicate charm, but if you want your suncatcher to last longer, hang it in a spot that’s still bright, but doesn’t get direct afternoon sun. You can also try using flowers that hold their colour well (like pansies or delphiniums), or coat the flowers with UV-resistant spray sealer before making the craft. This should help preserve the colours a bit longer.

Can I make pressed flower suncatchers without contact paper?

Yes, absolutely! While contact paper is an easy and mess-free option, there are a couple other creative ways to make pressed flower suncatchers. Both options work well and are a fun way to repurpose materials you might already have on hand! Pressed flower suncatchers are such a lovely way to hold onto the beauty of the blooming season. Whether you make one as a homemade gift or just to brighten up your window, this easy floral craft brings a little nature indoors and fills any room with cheerful charm. So grab some flowers, gather your supplies, and enjoy creating something naturally beautiful!
