Description

Create vibrant ocean-themed suncatchers that brighten your space while engaging your creativity. Perfect for all ages!


Ingredients

  • Clear gelatin (enough to fill your chosen molds)
  • Food coloring in blues, greens, and aqua
  • Optional glitter for added sparkle
  • Clear plastic sheet or transparent baking parchment
  • Shells, sand, or small ocean-themed decorations

Instructions

  1. Prepare your workstation by gathering all materials.
  2. Gently heat water in a pot and dissolve clear gelatin according to package instructions. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Divide the gelatin mixture into separate bowls and add food coloring, mixing until desired ocean hues are achieved.
  4. Pour a thin layer of colored gelatin into the molds and carefully place shells, sand, or decorations into the gelatin before pouring another layer to secure them. Fill molds to the top.
  5. Place molds in the refrigerator for at least 4-6 hours or until solid.
  6. Once set, gently remove suncatchers from the molds and hang them in a sunny spot to admire.

Notes

Experiment with different shell shapes, use vegan alternatives like agar-agar, and add essential oils for a gentle ocean scent.
