In a mixing bowl, combine the cornstarch, water, white vinegar, and glycerin. Feel the texture as it begins to blend, smooth and soft.
Stir gently until everything is well mixed. Notice how the consistency changes, becoming a bit glossy and ready to be heated.
Pour the mixture into a small pot over medium heat. As you heat it, watch for the transformation—it thickens beautifully. Stir constantly to prevent it from sticking.
After a few minutes, the mixture will begin to form a soft, pliable ball. When it’s difficult to stir, remove it from the heat.
Once the mixture cools slightly, knead it with your hands until it becomes smoother. Add a few drops of pink food coloring to achieve your desired shade. Kneading also distributes the color evenly.
Roll out the bioplastic on a piece of baking parchment or a silicone mat. Use cookie cutters or molds to create shapes. Enjoy the feel of the soft dough under your hands.
Once shaped, allow the suncatchers to dry completely. This may take several hours, but you can enjoy the calming scent of warm materials in the air as they set.
Once dry, hang your suncatchers by a window. As the daylight filters through, notice the gentle play of colors on your walls.
