Recycled Sun Catcher

Image
Welcome to the Designer Crafts Connection April blog hop. Our theme this month is Spring Flowers, but we were also challenged to only use items we already had around the house. This wire and glass sun catcher fit the bill. There wasn't a lot of sun when I took the photos for this project, so trust me: that beveled glass can really sparkle. To see another spring project using the roll of wire described in the materials list, see my blog post of March 22. Be sure to click on the Designer Crafts Connection button at left to hop to other bloggers participating in this event. Here's how I did it: Materials Metal Coat Hangers, 2 Roll wire (Found in the garage. No one knows what gauge it is or why we bought it.) Wire Cutters Needle nose pliers Regular pliers Beveled glass pieces, 1 large, four small (Purchased at a salvage store several years ago. I think they were made for light fixtures.) Instructions 1. Straighten one of the coat hangers leaving the hook attach
