Suncatchers

Suncatchers

So easy to make
So simple! Layer cheap plastic beads in cake pans (no lining required), melt at 400 for 20 minutes,let cool, & then just flip them out. Drill a hole in it to make it a suncatcher! Great "craft" for kids (choose the colors, arrange them in the pans) to make as gifts for grandparents or teachers. Oooh - could small ones be used as coasters? Look like glass but not breakable!
NOTE: Keep windows open for good ventilation :)

P.S. My spin on this would be to try some pans with shapes for the coasters like a heart, star etc!

  1. My grandkids and I place metal cookie cutters on a flat cookie sheet and place the beads in each shape. They turn out so neat.
