Supplies needed are simple: a spray bottle, coffee filters, paper plates, magic markers, frames for “stained glass” objects (we used fish purchased from Dick Blick, but you can cut your own), and some iridescent medium for watercolor.
First put the coffee filter on the plate. Using regular magic markers, scribble patches of color, using several colors.
Put a little (about a tsp. ) of iridescent medium into about 4 oz. of water in a spray bottle. Saturate the coffee filter until the colors run together. (The iridescent medium will leave a sparkle when it dries.)
Dry completely. It only takes about a minute with a hairdryer.
Carefully pop the “stained glass” forms apart. Apply glue to the inside of one side. (These came from Dick Blick) Then gently lay the dried coffee filter on top of the glue.
Trim the excess filter away from the form.
Apply liquid glue to the inside over the filter. Make sure to apply glue to all the lines. Then carefully lay the second part of the stained glass pattern over the first.
Thread some fishing line through the hold in the top. Hang near a light for a fun sun catcher.
