Materials

• Plastic food lid
• Glue
• Food coloring
• Toothpicks
• Hole Punch
• Scissors
• String
• Beads
• Tape or suction cup hooks (for hanging)

Instructions

Step 1: Pour a layer of glue into your lid.

Step 2: Put 4 – 5 drops of food coloring around the glue. A large lid may require a couple more drops and a smaller one will need fewer.

Step 3: Swirl the colors around with your toothpick a few times. Set the lid aside to dry. The process will take a few days (depending on the size of the lid and how thick the glue is) and the colors will continue to change as the glue dries. It is fascinating to watch!

Step 4: Peel the suncatcher out of your lid once it is dry and punch a hole in the top with your hole punch. Thread some string through the hole and add some beads.

Step 5: Hang your suncatcher in a window with tape or suction cup hooks.
