Today, we’re getting crafty with a fun and simple DIY—colorful stone suncatchers! These little beauties are not only adorable, but they sparkle in the sunlight and add a cheerful pop of color to any window, porch, or garden space. Whether you're crafting with kids or just looking for a relaxing, creative project, this is a great way to brighten up your day—literally! Grab your stones and let’s get started!
Instructions
Remove the back of the picture frame, leaving only the glass panel in place.
Using a paintbrush, apply a thin, even layer of clear Mod Podge to the top side of the glass panel (the side that will face inside the frame).
Lay down a row of colorful stones directly onto the Mod Podge, arranging them however you like.
Paint another layer of Mod Podge on top of the stones, sealing them in place.
Repeat the process one row at a time—apply Mod Podge, add stones, then seal with another layer.
Allow your suncatcher to lay down flat to fully dry, at least several hours or overnight for best results.
Once dry, place your suncatcher in a sunny window and watch it sparkle!
And there you have it—a simple yet stunning suncatcher that brings a little sparkle and color into your space! Whether you hang it in a sunny window, give it as a handmade gift, or make a few to brighten up your garden, this project is sure to lift your spirits. Don’t forget to share your creations—I’d love to see how your suncatchers turn out! Keep creating, keep learning, and as always, enjoy the process.
