Kid made suncatchers are a favorite of mine no matter what season, but they are especially stunning when the low sun shines through them in Autumn (or fall depending on where you are in the world). Plus autumnal colours are so warming and delightful to work with.
We have gathered together 20 fabulous kid made autumn suncatchers to inspire you. There is something here for kids of all ages and abilities and they will look wonderful in the fall sunlight.
