Prepare your workspace and base by laying wax paper on the table and placing the acetate sheet flat.

Plan a loose design by scattering beads over the acetate until satisfied with the color rhythm.

Place a small glue puddle where the first piece will go using a craft stick or squeeze bottle for a steady drop.

Set a glass gem into the puddle and press gently until it feels secure.

Continue adding pieces mindfully, leaving gaps for a mosaic effect if desired.

Use thin lines of glue to connect smaller pieces if necessary.

Let the first layer set until tacky but not wet.

Add a second layer or small clear beads for depth.

Create a hanging point by punching a tiny hole or melting a hole carefully in one corner.

Allow the entire suncatcher to cure fully in a dust-free space for at least 24 hours.

Final clean by trimming any ragged edges and wiping excess glue.

Display the suncatcher in a window and enjoy the shifting light through it.
