Materials Needed:
White GlueWater
Yarn Plastic Wrap Scissors Easter Cookie Cutters Wax Paper Paintbrushes String or RibbonInstructions:
- Mix together equal parts of white glue and water in a bowl. This will be your glue solution.
- Cut a piece of plastic wrap and lay it flat on a table. You can use Easter cookie cutters as a guide, or simply freehand a design.
- Dip the yarn into the glue solution, making sure it’s completely covered.
- Start placing the yarn onto the plastic wrap, following your chosen design. Make sure to press down on the yarn so it sticks to the plastic wrap.
- Once you have filled in your design with the yarn, cut a piece of wax paper that is slightly larger than your design. Place the wax paper on top of the yarn and press down gently.
- Allow the yarn and glue to dry completely. This may take a few hours, or you can leave it overnight.
- Once the glue is completely dry, carefully peel the plastic wrap away from the yarn. If any glue has seeped through, you can use a pair of scissors to carefully cut it away.
- Cut a piece of ribbon or string and attach it to the top of your suncatcher.
- Hang your suncatcher in a window or other bright area and watch the colors come to life!
