simple suncatchers

This is a very easy one even for miss 3. I’m hoping to try star patterns this Christmas.

Material

1 Aquadhere
4 food colours
6 lids
1 pk toothpicks

Method

Place lids on an old newspaper or inside a low box to catch any spills. Cover the bottom of the lids with glue. I use an eye dropper to drip the food colour on the glue but the smaller food colours are squeeze bottles so drip without help. It only takes a few drops around the glue and then swirl it with the toothpicks.
The colour will spread as the glue dries. You can swirl a few colours but don't over mix or you just get black. These will take a few days to dry before removing from the lids. The kids like to find driftwood to hang them from with fishing line.

  I get it from woolworths. They have a little section for handyman stuff usually.

  This is ALL the kids work. They mixed too many and got black ones last time so did one colour each this time.

One to keep safe until we get some warm, dry days. Think this would be better made outside.

  It takes a few days to dry in full sun. The problem I have is the bower birds love the colours and try to pinch them.
