MARBLE GEM SUNCATCHER
I saw this Suncatcher project on a
"Crafts for Kids " web site. I thought
that this was a nice craft for adults
too. I got more creative after I made
a few of them.
ITEMS NEEDED:
ASSORTED COLOR GLASS GEMS
RECYCLED PLASTIC LID
WHITE OR CLEAR SCHOOL GLUE
PIECE OF YARN OR RIBBON
SUCTION CUP (OPTIONAL)
Here's some helpful tips:
* Buy FLAT glass gems.
* Can use small beads to fill in areas between gems.
* 2 or 3 Dollar Tree net bundles ok (Depends on lid size).
* Clear deli lid ok but margarine & whip cream lid works too)
* White Elmers school glue ok if you don't want to buy the clear.
* Suction cup may not be necessary. My window had a hinge hanger.
* Have old towel OR paper towels handy since glue can be messy!
* I suggest hanging Suncatcher inside. Exposure to the weather may damage it.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Fill the entire lid with glue. Lay the gems in a pretty design on top of the glue. Cover your design completely with more glue.
Let the Suncatcher air dry 2-3 days.
The glue should be clear and gems
bonded together.
Peel lid from your project and poke
hole at top for the ribbon.
Hang Suncatcher from your window and
ENJOY!
