Instructions
Preparation
- Clean and cut the transparent plastic into your desired shape (circle, heart, or geometric). Ensure the edges are smooth to prevent any injury.
Assembly
- Tear or cut the colored tissue paper or cellophane into small pieces or shapes.
- Spread a thin layer of craft glue on one side of the plastic base using a brush for even coverage.
- Place the tissue pieces onto the glued surface, overlapping them slightly for a mosaic effect.
- Apply another layer of glue over the top of the tissue paper to seal everything in and sprinkle some glitter if desired.
- Use a hole puncher to create a hole at the top of your suncatcher for hanging.
Display
- Thread a string through the hole or attach a suction cup to hang. Find a bright window to showcase your creation!
Notes
Try using magazines or wrapping paper for different textures; use paint or markers for added designs on the base layer. Experiment with layering different colors for more depth.
