This sun catcher is totally fun, but you will have to wait several days for it to dry. That makes this a perfect weekend project. Do the first part of the project on one weekend, and the following Friday afternoon finish it up!
Gather the following supplies:
White craft glue
Plastic lid (cottage cheese, sour cream, yogurt, etc)
Liquid food coloring
Toothpick
Embroidery floss
Needle (Parents handle this if creating with young kids)
Pony beads
3 (4-hole) buttons
Here’s another fun glue project – How to Make Floam!

August 4, 2014 at 8:49 amHi Tiffiny! Actually we’ve had a pretty mild summer with temps in the 70s and 80s. I have had this sun catcher handing in my front living room window since I made it and it’s still doing fine. That particular window gets full afternoon sun and if I don’t close the drapes in the afternoon it gets pretty hot in the room! I was worried about it melting too, but there have been no physical changes to it at all :)
