Description
Create a vibrant DIY Garden Suncatcher Wind Chime using natural materials and mason jar rings for a colorful outdoor decoration.
Ingredients
Scale
- Plant material – small flower blooms, petals
- 12–18 inch stick
- Mason jar rings (3 total: two large, one narrow)
- Clear contact paper
- Black permanent magic marker
- Glue (optional)
- Ribbon
- Large suction cup hook (optional)
- Scissors
Instructions
- Take a nature walk with kids or friends to collect flower materials.
- Cut squares of clear contact paper larger than the mason jar ring.
- Draw around the mason jar ring on one piece of contact paper using a permanent marker.
- Peel off the backing and place the contact paper sticky side up on your workspace.
- Arrange flower petals and blooms face down on the sticky contact paper.
- Cover blooms with a second square of contact paper, sealing the petals in between.
- Cut out the circle drawn on the contact paper, trimming slightly inside the line for a proper fit.
- Punch a hole about half an inch from the edge of the circle for hanging.
- Fit the contact paper into the mason jar ring, using glue if desired for security.
- Repeat the process with remaining mason jar rings to create additional suncatchers.
- Find a suitable stick and arrange the mason jar rings beneath it.
- Thread a ribbon through the hole in one suncatcher and tie it to the stick.
- Repeat for the other suncatchers, then tie a hanging ribbon to the stick.
- Choose a location to hang the wind chime, ideally indoors or on a shepherd’s hook outdoors.
Notes
- Choose thin flower buds and petals for best results.
- Make sure the suncatchers are facing the correct way before securing them.
- A suction cup hook can be used to hang the wind chime indoors.
- Be cautious of weather conditions if hanging outdoors.
