5. Then, press the black silhouette, eyes, and mouth onto the sticky surface.
6. Cut light green and pink tissue paper into small squares.
7. Stick the green tissue paper pieces inside the center of the silhouette, filling it in like a patchwork mosaic.
8. Add pink tissue paper squares inside the ear sections.
9. (Optional) Seal with another piece of contact paper on top.
10. Trim around the edges and hang in a sunny window.
Important Notes for This Star Wars Craft
- Draw the baby Yoda head onto black construction paper before cutting it out. This will ensure the Grogu head has the right shape.
- Experiment with smile positions. Kids can give Yoda a big smile or keep his mouth as a straight line.
- Seal with contact paper. Although this part is optional, I always suggest sealing it with another piece of contact paper. This will allow your baby Yoda sun catcher to be reused year after year.
