- Food coloring or liquid watercolor paints
- Plastic lid or clear plastic sheet
- Toothpicks or paintbrushes
- Scissors

- Wax paper or parchment paper
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Cover your surface with wax paper or parchment paper and lay out plastic lids or clear plastic sheets.
- Add the Glue Base: Fill each plastic lid with a generous amount of clear glue and tilt the lid gently so the glue spreads evenly.
- Add Colour: Drop food coloring or liquid watercolors onto the glue, using one drop per color. Optional: Add glitter sequins or beads.
- Swirl & Design: Use toothpicks or paintbrushes to swirl colors into patterns.
- Dry Completely: Place the lid flat and let it dry for 24–72 hours until it is transparent and peelable.
- Peel & Trim: Gently peel the suncatcher out of the lid and trim any rough edges with scissors.
- Hang & Shine: Punch a small hole at the top or use tape to hang it with a string or suction cup hook.
Notes
Experiment with colors and patterns for unique designs. Use less glue for thinner suncatchers, more for thicker ones, and feel free to add glitter for extra sparkle!
