Description

Create colorful, translucent suncatchers using clear glue and liquid watercolor that catch the light beautifully.


Materials

  • Clear glue
  • Liquid watercolor
  • Plastic lids
  • Cotton swab or toothpick
  • Hole punch
  • String


Instructions

  1. Pour the glue into the plastic lids, aiming for a thin but even layer.
  2. Add several drops of liquid watercolor into the glue, experimenting with different colors.
  3. Swirl the colors together using a cotton swab or a toothpick, ensuring defined streaks.
  4. Let the lids sit flat until the glue is transparent and dry, typically a few hours.
  5. Peel the suncatchers from the lid, then use a hole punch to create a hole and thread a string for hanging.

Notes

Consider using complementary colors and experimenting with layering for unique textures. Supervise children while crafting.
