Servings 1 piece

1 cup Bioplastic granules Easy to find in craft stores or online
1-2 cups Water Used for boiling with bioplastic granules
1 piece Silicone mold or tray Any shapes or sizes work
Optional Food coloring For custom colors
1 utensil Stirring utensil

Measure about a cup of bioplastic granules and place them into your pot.
Add 1 to 2 cups of water to the pot and stir gently.
Place your pot on the stove over low heat and breathe in the earthy warmth that fills the air.

Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat and stir continuously until the granules dissolve into a thick mixture.
If using food coloring, add it after the granules have fully dissolved.
Pour the mixture into your silicone mold or tray and allow it to cool completely.

After cooling, carefully lift the sun catcher from the mold.
You can shape or cut it into your preferred design.
If desired, punch a hole at the top and thread string or ribbon through for hanging.
Hang your sun catcher in a place where sunlight can dance through it.

Store the sun catcher in a cool, dry place when not in use. Avoid harsh chemicals for cleaning.
