Ingredients
Materials
- 1 bottle clear school glue Easy to find
- various drops food coloring or liquid watercolors Vibrant and fun, to add color
- 1 sheet wax paper or plastic sheets To prevent sticking
- 1 cookie cutter heart-shaped cookie cutter Or any heart template
- 1 bowl small bowl or tray To contain your hearts
- 1 tool paintbrush or dropper For adding color to glue
- optional item scissors For cutting shapes if needed
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare your workspace by laying out the wax paper or plastic sheets to catch drips and help your creations release easily.
- Pour a generous amount of clear glue into your bowl, noting the smooth and silky texture.
- If desired, add a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolors to the glue and mix gently to create a beautiful marbled effect.
Creating Suncatchers
- Place your heart-shaped cookie cutter on the wax paper and carefully fill it with the colored glue mixture.
- Allow the glue to be about half an inch thick in the cutter and take your time enjoying the process.
- Optionally, add small beads or glitter while the glue is still wet for added texture and sparkle.
- Let the filled heart shapes dry completely, which might take several hours or even overnight.
- Once dry, gently peel the suncatchers away from the wax paper.
- Find a sunny spot to hang your suncatchers using clear tape, string, or a suction cup.
Notes
Store suncatchers in a protective box with soft fabric or paper between each one to prevent scratches. They can be reused for seasonal decorations.
