Piece by piece, a little color becomes your own.
  1. Start with a shape

    Peel the backing from the contact paper. Lay it sticky-side up and press your frame onto it.

  2. Let the scraps fly

    Tear or cut the tissue paper. Stick the pieces inside your frame. Layer colors. Try things.

  3. Keep it all together

    Add the second clear sheet, smooth it down and trim around the frame.

  4. Find a little sunshine

    Hang it with window-appropriate tape. Now look at those colors.

In your little
pile of possibility:

  • 3D-printed frames — six or three
  • Colorful tissue paper — sheets to tear or cut
  • Clear contact paper — to hold it all together
  • An instruction card — a little helping hand

Bring your own scissors and window-appropriate tape. Hanging hardware isn’t included. These are planned contents; final details may change.

We make the outline.
You make it yours.

We print the frames, then gather the paper and little details. The best part happens at your table, one piece of tissue paper at a time.

A good beginning

Thoughtful from
the first little fold.

Our planned packaging starts with a kraft box, a colorful tissue band and the Lara Craft Co. label. Inside, frames nest in a folded card tray, tissue squares are grouped by color, and the clear sheets have their own envelope.

The instruction card sits on top, so you can find your first step before you unpack. We’re refining the fit and final details before launch.

Before you
clear the table…

What should I have ready?

Clear a flat work surface and bring scissors and window-appropriate tape. Take care when peeling, cutting, trimming and hanging your finished craft.

What are the kits made from?

The planned kits use 3D-printed PLA frames, colored tissue paper and clear self-adhesive contact paper. Tissue comes in sheets to tear or cut, rather than tiny pre-cut pieces.

How long does a craft take?

That depends on the maker and the pattern. There’s no timer to beat: start with one frame, take a break, or spend a little longer layering your colors. We’re still testing a typical making time.

What about the cleanup?

Set out a tray or cover your table before you start. There’s no wet paint or glitter in this activity. Gather the tissue scraps and paper backings when you’re done.

Can I get a kit yet?

Not just yet. This is a first look at the collection, and the kits are not available to order. Designs and final contents are still being worked on.

still making things!

Save a sunny spot.

Coming soon to Amazon.
We’re getting every little detail ready.
