Ingredients
Materials
- 1 bottle Liquid school glue or clear glue
- a few drops Food coloring or liquid watercolors Choose your desired colors
- 1 sheet Wax paper or plastic sheet This will act as your canvas
- 1 Paintbrush or squeeze bottle Optional for applying glue
- 1 pair Scissors For trimming excess edges
- optional Glitter or sequins For added sparkle
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay down a clean, flat surface covered with newspaper or a tablecloth to catch any spills.
- Place a sheet of wax paper or a plastic sheet on your work surface. This will act as your canvas.
Design
- In a small container, mix liquid glue with a few drops of food coloring or liquid watercolors. Use a paintbrush or squeeze bottle for easier application.
- Start adding your colored glue mixture to the wax paper, using different colors to create fun patterns. You can swirl them together or layer them for depth.
- If you’d like, sprinkle glitter or add sequins to your design for an extra touch of magic.
Finishing Up
- Allow your suncatcher to dry completely for at least 24 hours. Check that it’s firm and no longer sticky to the touch.
- Once dry, carefully peel your suncatcher off the wax paper. Trim off any excess edges with scissors.
- Hang or tape your suncatcher in a sunny window to enjoy the colorful display.
Notes
Experiment with mixing colors for unique shades, use cookie cutters for shapes, or layer designs to add texture.
