Elmer’s Glue Sun Catcher

Welcome the sunlight with these bright colorful suncatchers, made with your favorite Elmer’s glue!

* Please note: there is a 48-hour waiting time for glue to harden.

Supplies Needed

  • Elmer’s Glue (Recommend Clear, Translucent, Glitter, or Glow in the Dark)
  • Cookie Cutters, any shape
  • Wax paper
  • Toothpick (optional)
  • Hole punch
  • String/yarn

Instructions

  1. Lay out a piece of wax paper on a flat surface and place your desired cookie cutter shape on the wax paper.
  2. Squeeze your Elmer’s Glue into the cookie cutter shape until the bottom of the cookie cutter has a nice layer of Elmer’s Glue (about 1/8” worth of glue). Try using different colors of glue in different areas of the cookie cutter for a multi-colored suncatcher or use a toothpick to swirl the colors together for a neat color effect!
  3. Let the glue completely harden in the cookie cutter. This may take up to 48 hours.
  4. Once hardened, remove the cookie cutter. Use a hole punch at the top of your shape and insert yarn or string to hang your sun catcher on a window! Parents, you may need to hole punch the sun catcher for your younger children.
