How To Make This Super Cute and Colorful Mosaic Sun Craft

Step 3
Add another stick on the middle of each of the sticks already glued together (the “rays” of the sun)

Cut a circle from the wax paper that will fit over the opening of your sun (the hexagon). Cover the wax paper circle with glue.

Rip various sizes, shapes and colors of tissue paper and stick to the wax paper circle.
Step 6
Glue the wax paper circle onto the back of the sun.
