Beaded Sun-Catcher
Make your own:
-
Let kids explore outdoors to find the perfect stick—look for one that’s sturdy, around 10–12 inches long, and full of personality (curvy shapes are great!)
- Cut 5–7 strands of hemp about 12–18 inches long. (Tip: Varying the lengths gives a more whimsical look!)
- Thread translucent beads onto each strand. Mix in any other fun materials—pom-poms, buttons, feathers, or even small bells. Leave a few inches at the top for tying.
- Once a strand is finished, tie it tightly around the stick. Repeat until your stick has at least 5 beautiful dangling strands.
- Cut another piece of hemp and tie each end to either side of your stick to make a loop. This will be how you hang your masterpiece!
- Hang in front of a sunny window and watch the light sparkle through the beads! It’s a mini stained-glass effect made by your little artist.
- Voila!
