Step 1. Gather your supplies. 
|
| Step 2. Cut the center out of a plate if you have a clean paper plate to recycle use it! Tip- it helps to fold the plate in half and then cut the middle section. |
| Step 3. Color the plate with your markers. |
| Step 4. Flip the plate over and color the other side of the plate. The plate will be hung in a window, so you will be able to see both sides. |
| Step 5. After you have colored the plate, punch 4 holes in the inside rim of the plate. Punch the holes so that they will be across from each other, top, bottom, left side and right side. |
| Step 6. Cut a Glitter Stick in half. Attach one end of the Glitter Stick through one hole in the plate. |
| Step 7. String some Tri-Beads onto the Glitter Stick. You can also use Pony Beads or other plastic beads for this project. |
| Step 8. Once you have about 4 or 5 beads on the stick, attach the open end of the Glitter Stick to the opposite hole on the plate. |
| Step 9. Attach the other half of the Glitter Stick to another hole on the plate. Repeat Steps 6 and 7. |
| Step 10. Decide which part of your sun catcher will be the top. Punch a hole and attach a Glitter Stick for hanging. Loop onto a Suction Cup and attach to your window to display! |
