We followed the directions at The Artful Parent to make melted bead sun catchers.
 |
| The top row was designed by Reagan and the bottom row was designed by Collin. |
First, Collin and Reagan arranged translucent pony beads in a muffin pan. When they were happy with their designs, I put the pan in a 400 degrees oven for approximately twenty minutes.
All of them popped out easily after cooling for just a few minutes.
The original directions called for drilling a hole in the sun catchers to hang them, but I just put a dab of hot glue and stuck a string in the glue on one side of the sun catcher.
Collin doubted me on this project, but both kids love the finished product and want to do this again!
