How to Make Them:
Prep the Lids:
Make sure your Pringle lids are clean and dry. Any leftover crumbs or grease can interfere with the glue sticking properly.Add the Sparkle:
Squeeze a layer of clear glue into the center of the lid. You can spread it with a craft stick or swirl it around for fun patterns.Decorate:
Add glitter, sequins, bits of colored paper, or even a drop or two of food coloring. Kids can get creative with patterns or stick to a single theme—rainbows, stars, or just a favorite color!Let it Dry:
Place the lids on a flat surface and let them dry completely. This may take 24–48 hours depending on the thickness of the glue.Hang and Enjoy:
Once dry and solid, punch a small hole in the top and tie on some string or yarn. Hang your suncatchers in a sunny window and watch them sparkle!
