Suncatcher Crafting
Create a beautiful handmade suncatcher to brighten your living space using simple materials and clear glue.
Ingredients
Materials
- 1 bottle Clear school glue
- a few drops Liquid food coloring (various colors)
- 1 sheet Wax paper Can also use parchment paper or plastic wrap
- 1 Pencil
- 1 pair Scissors
- 1 length String or fishing line for hanging
- optional Decorative elements (glitter, sequins, etc.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Clear an area on your table and cover it with newspaper or plastic to catch any spills.
- In a bowl, mix clear school glue with a few drops of liquid food coloring. Stir well until you achieve a consistent color.
- Using a pencil, sketch a basic outline of your desired shape on a piece of wax paper.
- Carefully pour the colored glue mixture into your outline. Spread it out evenly, filling the shape completely.
- If desired, sprinkle glitter or add sequins before the glue dries.
- Allow your suncatcher to dry completely (approximately 4-6 hours or overnight for best results).
- Once dry, gently peel the suncatcher off the wax paper.
- Cut your string or fishing line to the desired length, attach it to the top, and hang your masterpiece!
Notes
You can customize your suncatcher using different colors or by swirling the glue. For a sturdier suncatcher, consider using clear epoxy resin instead of glue. Create a double-sided suncatcher by applying glue to both sides.
