Glitter Glue Jellyfish Suncatchers

These stunning jellyfish suncatchers are made of nothing more than glitter glue, beads, ribbon, and cord. Kids will enjoy the fun and ease of making these and seeing the sunlight through all the glitter.

Supplies

Plastic lids to use as molds

Glitter glue

Glitter and neon plastic cord

Colored clear beads

Sheer ribbon

Aluminum foil

Step 1: Shape Foil

To turn the plastic lid into a jellyfish shape, compress a piece of foil to cover the bottom 1/4 of the circle. The more organic the shape, the better. Compress enough foil to fill up to the lip of the lid, then hold down with tape.

Step 2: Draw Stripes

Use alternating colors of glitter glue to draw stripes. Use only a single layer of glue as you do not want to fill the lid at this point.

Step 3: Add Ribbon

Cut 2 to 3 strips of sheer ribbon twice the length of the plastic lid. Press onto the glue around the center of the jellyfish.

Step 4: Add Cord

Cut 5 to 6 strips of plastic cord in various lengths, three to four times the length of the plastic lid. Press onto the glue, spacing evenly across. Tape the cord ends to the table to prevent the cords from crossing over each other.

Step 5: Add Beads

Add clear colored beads to create decorative touches.

Step 6: Fill Lid

Fill the lid completely with glue, following the same stripe pattern as the bottom layer.

Step 7: Let Dry

Now this is the hardest part -- let the suncatchers completely dry. This may be a wait of 3 to 4 days.

Step 8: Peel

Peel off the suncatcher from the lid, then peel off the foil from the suncatcher.

Step 9: Catch the Sun

Stick your jellyfish suncatchers to a window using double-sided tape. Enjoy the colorful sunshine!
