Sun Catchers

We made sun catchers out of clear cups last weekend. We used permanent markers and clear plastic cups.

They kids colored their cups and I set them on a piece of foil sprayed with cooking oil.

Then I set them in the oven at 450*.
This is as much as they melted....

The directions said to use Solo brand cups. Nope. Don't do that. I tried a Walmart brand cup and it melted right away. So, we repeated the process with the new cups. Emma got to make some too!

Much better!! They took about 4-5 minutes to melt.

And this is mine. I poked holes into the plastic and tied yarn onto them.

These were fun and easy, after we used the right cups! ;0)
