What you need
• Slime (you can but from the shops or learn how to make your own by reading the July/August 2019 issue of The Home Handyman)
• Containers for the slime
• Recycled plastic lids
This project is messy! Spread out a large sheet of paper on your work surface, the drippy slime gets everywhere.
I’m obsessed with suncatchers. And slime. When we recently made neon Slime I accidentally left some slime out on the table and it dried up and became translucent. Then I had one of those crafty “Ah ha moments!” Maybe we could turn our bits and pieces of leftover slime into suncatchers. So we did, and the fact that these stick to glass is a bonus!
I love the way these look. The colour and transparency changes as they dry and they are really easy (albeit messy) to make. So the next time you make slime set some chucks of different colours aside and turn them into galactic art!
Step-by-step guide
Step 1: Place each colour of slime in separate containers on your work surface.
Step 2: Break off chunks of slime and place in the plastic lids. If your slime is gooey drip and drop it over the lids.
Step 3: Place enough chunks that the lids look full. There may be gaps, the slime will naturally flow and fill in all gaps as it settles.
