Easy to Create Fun and Festive Sun Decoration – Free Pattern
Kick off the summer with a fun and festive summer barbecue including great party decor like this colorful sun decoration. This sun design is so easy to create with just a few inexpensive materials. I reused cardboard and chose different patterns of scrapbooking paper to create this happy face sun. You can hang it on a wall, or attach it to a skewer and put it in a planter.

Materials Needed to Make the Festive Sun Decoration
- Fun Sun Pattern
- Cardboard Piece
- Decorative Scrapbooking Paper ( I used 5 different patterns)

- Twine or Yarn for the Eyes and Mouth
Instructions to Make the Festive Sun Decoration
Print out the Fun Sun Pattern and cut out all of the pieces.
Arrange the pieces on a piece of cardboard and trace the design. Alternate the large and smaller sun rays as shown.
Cut out the cardboard design.
Trace the pattern on the scrapbooking paper and cut out 4 longer rays and 4 smaller along with the circle.
Glue on to the cardboard cut out and attach pieces of twine for the eyes and mouth.
You can also attach a wooden skewer to the to the back of the sun and place in a planter like I did here for my Luau TV Segment. If you make the Sun Design, send me a picture. I would love to see it and post it on my blog!
