Ingredients
Method
- Lay down parchment or wax paper to protect your table and make glue removal easy once dry.
- Fill the inside of your plastic lid with about ½ inch of clear glue. Avoid spreading it too thin or it might crack when drying.
- Add one or two drops of food coloring per color into the glue. Let kids experiment with placement.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the colors. Try creating spirals, hearts, or initials. Add glitter, beads, or sequins if desired.
- Place the lid on a flat, dry surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 24–72 hours until completely dry and clear.
- Gently peel the dried suncatcher from the lid. Trim any uneven edges with scissors.
- Punch a hole at the top and thread ribbon or string through. Hang it in a sunny window or use a suction cup hook.
Notes
Each suncatcher is unique, making it a perfect creative and educational project for kids. For best results, allow full drying time. Reuse plastic lids to keep it sustainable. Great as homemade gifts or window decorations!
