We absolutely love contact paper crafts (or sticky back plastic as it’s known here in the UK) it’s a really cheap material to craft with that is great for sensory play or for making things. Last week I shared some seasonal paper plate crafts for every month and that was so popular that I thought I’d do it again this time sharing with you my favourite contact paper crafts, both that we’ve made and from some of my favourite bloggers.

I am sad we missed halloween now as I love that pumpkin!!
Oh how I wish I were crafty – I’m not in the slightest! I do let the kids go wild with the crafts though.
What a fab resource. I love contact paper and must resolve to use it more
I have a love/hate relationship with contact paper. I love to use it but it hates me – as soon as I peel it off I seem to get stuck to it! One day I shall out smart the contact paper.
I always stick the sides straight down with some washi tape or we have the same issue!
