Instructions
| Step 1. Gather your supplies.
| |
| Step 2.
To make a Star of David shape, glue (3) Craft Sticks together to form a triangle shape. Repeat to make a second triangle. Glue the triangles on top of one another as shown. |
| Step 3.
Use silver Metallic Paint and cover the wood stick shape and set aside to dry. Tip: You may want to paint several coats to cover. |
| Step 4.
Cut a 7 inch piece of Elastic Cord and tie one end onto the wood stick shape. You will use this cord to hang your sun catcher once complete. |
| Step 5.
Prepare your materials: cut a piece of aluminum foil and lay the shiny side face down as your work surface. In a paper cup, mix an equal amount of craft glue with water to make a glue solution. Lay your painted craft stick shape face down on the foil. Cut small pieces of blue and silver tissue paper. Using a foam brush, apply the glue solution to a piece of tissue paper. |
| Step 6.
Place the tissue paper on the craft stick shape. Use the glue solution to secure to shape. Tip: If the tissue paper rips, don’t panic! You can always add more layers of tissue paper on top of cover any rips. |
| Step 7.
Continue to add pieces of tissue paper until the shape is covered. Set aside to dry. |
| Step 8.
Once dry, string blue and silver Pony Beads onto the elastic cord. |
| Step 9.
Leave a little room at the top of the cord and tie a loop for hanging. Tip: Include one bead inside the loop shape. This will prevent all the beads from falling off when not yet hung. |
| Step 10.
Slip the loop onto a Suction Cup and hang on your window! |
| Step 11.
To make a Dreidel shaped sun catcher, Glue (3) Craft Sticks and (3) Mini Craft Sticks to form the dreidel shape shown. |
