Instructions
Preparation
- Gather your materials and ensure they are close by.
- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Plan your design and sketch it lightly on the parchment if desired.
Cook/Assemble
- In a bowl, squeeze some clear glue and add drops of food coloring to mix.
- Use a brush or toothpick to spread the colored glue onto the parchment paper.
- Layer colors for deeper effects, allowing each layer to dry slightly before adding more.

- Gently peel the suncatcher off the parchment paper once dried.
- Hang the suncatcher in a light-exposed area to see the colors shine.
Notes
For best results, do not rush the drying process. Use cookie cutters to shape your designs and avoid thick layers of glue that can prolong drying times. Experimenting with natural dyes like beet juice or turmeric can create unique alternatives.
