easy to make sun-catchers :)

What child doesn't LOVE to squeeze the glue bottle??  That is exactly what they get to do with this project.  This was our first attempt at making suncatchers, so we only did one.  Just lay some wax paper down, choose a cookie cutter shape, (claire did a flower), let them squeeze lots of glue (clear elmers glue) inside the cookie cutter, once the bottom is all covered in glue they can add colored beads.  I got a huge container of them at hobby lobby.  They were $7.99, but I used an internet 40% coupon and got them for cheap!  Only make a single layer with the beads.  Then it's time to cover them with glue :)  I put a heavy book on top of the cookie cutter when we were done to make sure the glue didn't leak out too much.  Set it on the counter and wait for it to dry.  Don't get in a hurry though, it takes a couple days to get dry all the way through.  When dry add a string and hang in the window :)
