Create vibrant DIY glue suncatchers with liquid colors for stunning window decorations. Perfect for kids and adults to enjoy a fun, colorful craft.


Ingredients

1 clean plastic lid (e.g., yogurt or sour cream container)

– White school glue (Elmer’s)

– Liquid watercolors (or food coloring + water)

– Toothpicks

– Hole punch

– Ribbon or string for hanging


Instructions

1. Wash and dry the plastic lid to ensure a clean surface.

2. Pour white glue into the lid, creating a 1/4-inch layer. Spread evenly with a popsicle stick.

3. Add a few drops of liquid watercolor or food coloring in different spots on the glue.

4. Use a toothpick to gently swirl the colors, creating unique patterns like marbling or tie-dye.

5. Let it dry flat for 48–72 hours. Cover with an inverted bowl to prevent dust.

6. Once dry, peel the glue from the lid, punch a hole, and thread a ribbon through it for hanging.
