Description
Create stunning and colorful suncatchers using clear glue and food coloring with this easy craft.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup clear school glue
- 1 cup water
- Food coloring (any color of your choice)
- Wax paper or parchment paper
- A variety of shapes for templates (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Workspace: Lay out wax paper or parchment paper on a flat surface. This is where your suncatchers will dry.
- Mix Your Glue: In a bowl, mix the clear glue and water in equal parts until fully combined. This creates the perfect base.
- Add Color: Stir in your desired food coloring until you achieve your preferred hue. Remember, the colors will appear lighter once dried!
- Create Shapes: Using a squeeze bottle or a spoon, carefully outline your shapes onto the wax paper. Fill them in with more of your colored mixture.
- Allow to Dry: Let the suncatchers dry overnight or until they feel completely firm and set. You’ll know they’re ready when they lift easily from the paper.
- Display Your Art: Once dry, carefully peel off the suncatchers and hang them in the light. Enjoy the beautiful patterns they create!
Notes
- Use a variety of colors for a more vibrant display.
- You can create your own template shapes or find printable shapes online.
- Ensure that the suncatchers are fully dry before handling them to avoid breaking.
