Kids will love creating various patterns and designs with glass gems! Simply fill a plastic lid with glue and let the creativity flow! Our translucent glass gems brilliantly glow when hit by the sun!
Materials Needed:
- Glass Gems (various sizes and colors) – (Available from Wholesalers USA)
- Clear Glue (Elmer’s clear gel or Weldbond is recommended)
- Plastic Lids
- Fishing Wire
- Scissors
Instructions:
1. **Optional** Design your suncatcher by placing the gems inside the lid in the pattern that you like.
2. Fill a plastic container lid with glue. Glue should just coat the bottom of the lid.
3. Place glass gems in the glue and give a gentle press. If all the gems are not touching, it is ok! They will still be adhered by the glue.
4. Allow the suncatcher to dry for 2-3 days. To expedite the drying process, a hair dryer may be used on a low setting.
5. When dry, carefully peel the suncatcher from the lid.
6. Thread fishing wire through a hole in the catcher and tie. If there are no holes, you can create one with scissors or a pin.
7. Hang and enjoy!
