Materials
- Bioplastic resin (easy to find in craft stores)
- Natural colorants (like beet juice or spinach powder for safe coloring)
- Molds (silicone works best, as it’s easy to release)
- A mixing bowl and stirring utensil (keep it calm and gentle)
- A spoon or dropper for adding colorants (inviting precision)
- Wax paper or a clean surface for drying (smooth and simple)
Instructions
- Prepare Your Workspace: Ensure your area is clean, and lay out all your materials. A calm environment sets the tone for your crafting.
- Mix the Bioplastic: In your mixing bowl, carefully combine your bioplastic resin as per the package instructions. The texture should feel smooth and slightly warm.
- Add Natural Colorants: Slowly stir in your chosen colorants. Observe how the colors blend, and take your time to achieve the desired tint.
- Pour into Molds: Use a spoon or dropper to pour the colored mixture into your molds. Let your hand feel the weight and flow of the mixture.
- Let it Set: Allow the molds to sit undisturbed according to the manufacturer's instructions. The anticipation as they harden is part of the enjoyment.
- Remove and Dry: Once set, gently remove the suncatchers from the molds and place them on wax paper to dry completely. Feel the smoothness of the finished pieces.
- Display Your Art: Hang your suncatchers in a sunny spot or a favorite window, watching as they catch the light and fill your space with color.
