Easy

Today is my daughters birthday and I wanted to dedicate this beautiful crystal sun catcher to her because she is indeed the center of our lives and surrounded by love. I hung it in the center of our patio. Really simple to make, took approx. 1 hour. Lots of fun!

Did you end up giving it to her? Does she love it? It's very pretty.

Hi, nice sun catcher. I wanted you to know that you have a gift of describing how to create and rarely have I come across directions and come away knowing exactly what to do to recreate item. I am addicted to hometalk and DIY but so often I am unable to follow parts or all of a DIY project because there are things either left out or unexplained so it is difficult to make or DIY. You are a natural and could have a following because of this ability. I wish you the best and hope to find more of your teachings on here!
