Creative Uses for Sun Templates in Crafts
Kids’ Summer Craft Projects
Engaging children in summer crafts fosters creativity and fine motor skills. Our sun templates are perfect for young crafters. Here’s how:
- Print and Cut: Download the 4-inch template and print it on white cardstock. Cut out the sun shape carefully.
- Decorate: Paint a paper plate yellow and glue the sun template to the center. Add googly eyes and draw a smile with a marker for a playful effect.
- Add Rays: Cut strips of orange and yellow construction paper to glue around the plate’s edge, mimicking sun rays.

Classroom Decorations
Teachers can transform classrooms into sunny havens with our templates. The 6-inch sun template works well for bulletin board displays. Create a “Welcome to Summer” theme by pairing sun cutouts with cloud and rainbow templates (available on our site). Laminate the cutouts for durability, and use adhesive dots to arrange them in a dynamic pattern. This setup not only brightens the room but also creates an inviting learning environment.
Home and Party Decor
For home decor, our 8-inch sun template is a showstopper. Use it to craft a sun-shaped wreath for your front door. Trace the template onto yellow felt, cut it out, and layer it with a smaller orange felt circle for depth. Embellish with faux flowers or ribbon for a personalized touch. This wreath is perfect for summer barbecues or seasonal gatherings, adding warmth to any space.
For parties, create sun-themed garlands by printing multiple 3-inch templates. Cut them out, punch holes at the top, and string them with twine. Hang the garland across a patio or dining area for a festive vibe. These garlands are lightweight, reusable, and pair beautifully with tropical or beach-themed decorations.
Step-by-Step Guide to Using Printable Sun Templates
We’ve streamlined the process to ensure you get the most out of our templates. Follow these steps for flawless results:
- Select Your Template: Browse our collection and choose a size and style that fits your project. Options include 2-inch, 3.5-inch, 4.5-inch, 6-inch, and 8-inch templates, with or without facial features.
- Download and Print: Click the download link to save the PDF. Print on standard printer paper or cardstock for sturdier results. Adjust your printer settings to “Actual Size” to maintain accurate dimensions.
- Cut Out the Template: Use sharp scissors or a craft knife for precise edges. For intricate designs, consider using a cutting machine like a Cricut or Silhouette.
- Trace or Decorate: Trace the template onto your chosen material (e.g., foam, wood, or fabric) or decorate the paper cutout directly with paints, markers, or glitter.
- Assemble Your Project: Combine the sun cutout with other elements, such as ribbons, beads, or additional shapes, to complete your craft.
For best results, we recommend using high-quality materials and testing your printer settings on scrap paper first. This ensures vibrant colors and crisp lines every time.
