Ingredients
Materials for Suncatchers
- 1 bottle Clear school glue (or any washable glue)
- 1 sheets Tissue paper or colorful construction paper
- 1 pair Scissors For cutting paper
- 1 sheet Wax paper or parchment paper To protect your workspace
- 1 pc A brush or sponge For applying glue
- optional Glitter or beads For added sparkle
Instructions
Preparation
- Lay down wax paper or parchment paper on a flat surface to protect it from glue spills.
- Gather all your materials within easy reach.
Creating the Suncatcher
- Use scissors to cut the tissue or construction paper into small pieces or fun shapes, using different colors for a vibrant design.
- Pour a generous amount of clear glue into a bowl, mixing in some water if desired for easier spreading.
- Using a brush or sponge, apply a thin layer of glue to the wax paper and place your cut paper pieces onto the glue, arranging them into your desired design.
- Once satisfied, cover with another layer of glue on top of the paper.
Drying and Finishing
- Allow the suncatcher to dry completely, which may take a few hours or overnight depending on the thickness of the glue layer.
- Once dry, carefully peel the suncatcher from the wax paper and trim the edges if necessary.
- Use tape or string to hang it in your window.
Notes
Experiment with overlapping colors for blended hues. Use cookie cutters for different shapes. Change designs for seasonal themes. If displayed outdoors, consider weatherproof glue or sealant.
