  • Sprinkle Decorations: If you wish, add glitter, sequins, or beads into the glue mixture for added charm and dimension—let your creativity run wild!
  • Allow to Dry: Let your suncatcher dry completely for 24 hours in a safe spot, ensuring no one bumps into it during this time.
  • Peel and Trim: Once dry, carefully peel the suncatcher from the plastic lid. Use scissors to trim any rough edges so it looks perfect!
  • Hang Your Creation: Attach a string or suction cup hook to your new work of art, and find the perfect spot in your window for it to shine brightly in the sunlight!
