How To Make Recycled Pretty Jewelled Heart Suncatchers
Wash and dry your plastic milk jug and then cut out the large flat rectangular sides. (Make sure your plastic milk jug is thoroughly clean or the stale milk smell will ruin your suncatchers.)
With a marker pen or pencil draw on your heart shape and cut it out. Very young children may need some adult help to cut the plastic.
Use a simple hole punch at the top of the heart to make a hole for threading your ribbon.
Cover one side of the heart thickly with glue.
Now stick on your acrylic jewels and set the heart aside to dry.
Once your heart suncatcher is completely dry you can thread some ribbon through the hole at the top and hang it in the window.
These homemade sun catchers are such a simple and adaptable idea. Once children have had a first supported try, why not let them come up with their own shape ideas and experiment with different coverings such as sequins UK / US and glitters UK / US.
