The Little People made some Window Suncatchers as gifts for Mother's Day last week, and they turned out wonderfully.
I got the idea from this pin on Pinterest that came from this post on the blog Play At Home Mom LLC.
I loved the way the translucent flat marbles and beads looked in the sun and decided that we would try it out.

I followed all the directions as given on the blog. We also used frames from a dollar store, and a combination of glass gems and plastic "gems" that I purchased from Discount School Supply, along with some clear buttons I had on hand. The first day of the project I went with the glue that I had, which was your basic white school glue. However, I then went out and found some clear Elmer's glue, and we loved how that worked. It dried very nicely, with no haziness at all.
Here are some of their creations:

| This one was done with the regular (non-clear) Elmer's glue. Even when dry, it didn't look as nice as the ones done with the clear glue. |
Of course, the mothers just loved them, and we declared this project a keeper.
Here is my Pinterest Tryout Review:
