Suncatchers

Hi all,

Thanks all

    i use to make suncatchers and sell to gift shops, i basically made them on squares of clear perspex which i bought from a local handy man shop, he cut them to size for me which was about 3" by 3" , then id drill a hole in a corner so it would hang as a diamond shape. then id tie some ribbon with a hoop on the end for hanging up. its then ready to paint with some glass paints. popular designs where butterflies, birds, flowers, stars and moon etc.

  • They do suncatchers in poundland, i suppose you could get one and use the ideas from there? They are in the kids craft bits.
