I came across these suncatchers in the art room of The Jersey Momma’s Boy’s school. We were meeting there for cub scouts and I happened to see this awesome project on the sidelines that the teacher was working on (I’m sorry, Mrs. E, I didn’t mean to snoop in your stuff! I just couldn’t help but notice how pretty they were!) If you want to make them, too, all you need to do is follow these THREE easy steps (yup, that’s it!). So you want to make a suncatcher? If you want to make them for a gift, just be sure to plan ahead, because they need a few days to dry (at least 4 to 7 days, depending on how much glue you use). Here’s what you’ll need: -colored glass stones of any size or shape (you can find them at most craft stores or in the floral section of your local Walmart) -clean plastic lids from butter or sour cream (any container lid will do, but that’s the general size you want) -clear Elmer’s Glue -ribbon or fishing line for hanging Optional Step We decided to lay our stones out first to make sure our design fit before we glued everything down. This step is optional, but I recommend it so you know what your suncatcher will look like. Step 1. Now clear the stones off your lid off and squeeze some clear glue all over it (the flat side of the lid should be facing down- you need the edges of the lid up to hold your stones and glue in). Make sure it’s enough to coat the lid. Then start placing your stones down. *Note: if you made your design in advance and want to try to keep it as is without removing the stones, you can try placing a piece of cardboard over it and quickly flipping it over, then carefully lifting the lid to keep your stones in place, so you can re-set them on your gluey surface. But that takes a quick hand! Another option is to take a photo of the design you created with your phone, so you can just copy your design from the image when you go to place it in the gluey lid. I recommend making your stones touch, as that makes it much easier to pop out of the lid in one piece when it’s dry. The image below still needed a few stones added in between to close up the gaps, see? Step 2. After you finish your design, squirt some more glue around it/over it to solidify your design. Step 3. Let it dry, at least 3-4 days (mine took longer, more like 5 days). Do you know this was the hardest part for me? I am so impatient, I must’ve tried to pop it out of the lid at least four times before it was actually ready. You’ll know when it’s ready because it will start to peel away from the lid really easily. If you try to peel it away and you still see gluey strings or it still seems like it’s wet or stuck to the lid, let it dry more. If you have any gaps in your finished design, you can thread some ribbon or fishing wire through to hang it. If not, you can use a dab of hot glue (or even the clear glue) on the back of the suncatcher to place a ribbon on it. The suncatcher will be fairly heavy when complete, so you want to make sure the ribbon or string is secure before hanging. Oh, and save your lids! You might be tempted to toss them because they’re all gluey, but after the glue dries, it just peels right off (which is kind of cool, actually) and you can use the lid for another suncatcher. Jersey Momma Tips: -For some reason, The Jersey Momma’s Boy’s suncatcher dried much faster than mine. His took about three or four days. I don’t know if it was his design choice or the amount of glue, or what. – I was so impatient to get mine out of the lid and see my finished product that I did actually pop it out before it was ready. When I peeled it off the lid, the back was still a little tacky, so I left it to dry out of the lid with the back facing up. That seemed to do the trick. -Someone on Pinterest mentioned that the glue from their suncatcher melted in the sun. I have been making these for YEARS and I have many of them in direct sunlight and I have NEVER had any of them melt in the sun. I am wondering if the person who made them had one much like my son’s, that was possibly not dry completely when it was placed in the window (or they live someplace really hot?). The biggest issue I have seen with these over time (if they’re placed in full sunlight for long periods of time) is fading. -You can get super creative with these if you have a knack for patterns. This was the original design that I saw in Mrs. E’s classroom. Isn’t her finished product beautiful?
