November’s crafting project was a crushed glass suncatcher in the shape of a butterfly! I only had one, however, so we all had to work on it together. The kit came with a picture of one that had been completed, but the girls didn’t like that color scheme so decided to go with a rainbow pattern. I must say, ours looks way better! They did such a good job on it!
Working with resin was a new experience for me – I had never done anything like that before. It was pretty cool, though. The girls declined to help with that part of the project – but since they had placed all the crushed glass, we were okay with having the adults do the pouring part.
The most difficult part of the project was figuring out where to put it after we’d completed it so the cats couldn’t get into it while it cured! We ended up placing it in one of the storage cupboards on a piece of cardboard.
24 hours later, and this is what we ended up with! I am so happy with how it turned out! We will have to trim some of that resin off, obviously (we apparently got a little heavy handed with the resin) – but once it’s hung up in a window, I think it will be just beautiful!
