Suncatchers

We are currently in between homes and are spending most free time house hunting... therefore, there has been very, very little time to post!  I did come across a super easy and fun craft at Ben Franklin and wanted to highly recommend it. 

No, this is not homemade...
      but this blog isn't about doing everything from scratch.
             It's about spending one on one time with your children, and this craft does just that!

Although Addy is just approaching three, she had a blast doing this!  I actually did one with her while visiting my inlaws, and she requested to do it again!  I picked up two more at Michaels and here it is...



Suncatchers

Just grab one of these from your local craft store, or order online.
(Makit & Bakit - Suncatcher)


You just need your oven, a sheet of foil, a baking sheet, tweezers & fishing wire or a string.

Decorate your suncatcher...
(Addy is young, so I just let her sprinkle each color... she took it very seriously!)


Once you are done decorating, move all excess color beads away from the suncatcher and use your tweezers to straighten out any in need.


Bake until smooth, allow to cool, and hang!
