The lids from round freezer containers are very handy.

Fill the lids with a layer of glue.

Drip in drops of watercolor with the skewers.

Trace with the points of the skewers shapes in the paint.

You can choose to make colour patches, pour a little paint in the glue.

Allow the suncatchers to dry in a quiet spot in the sun.

When the edge comes away you can pull it out very gently.

Cut off rough edges, tracing around a round object with a Stanley knife.

Punch a hole into the suncatcher then string it on a nylon thread.

Find a sunny spot for your suncatcher, the colours get brilliant when the sun shines through!
