Description

A fun and engaging activity for all ages, creating colorful DIY glue suncatchers to brighten your space.


Ingredients

  • Clear school glue
  • Liquid food coloring
  • A mixing bowl
  • Wax paper or parchment paper
  • Paintbrush or spoon
  • Optional: Glitter, sequins, or beads for embellishments

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Workspace: Find a flat surface to work on, like a table or countertop.
  2. Mix the Glue and Color: In a mixing bowl, pour in the desired amount of clear school glue. Add a few drops of food coloring to achieve your preferred shade. Stir well with a paintbrush or spoon until the color is evenly mixed.
  3. Create Your Design: Place a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on your workspace. Using the colored glue, pour or spread the mixture in fun shapes and patterns. Consider layering colors for a beautiful marbled effect and adding glitter or embellishments for extra sparkle!
  4. Drying the Suncatcher: Let the glue mixture dry completely, at least 24 hours. Once dry, gently peel it off the wax paper.
  5. Display Your Artwork: Hang your suncatcher in a sunny spot, such as a window, to see the colors shine!

Experiment with different shapes and colors. Use cookie cutters for unique designs and consider themed suncatchers for special occasions.
