It's time to let the sun shine in! These stained glass sun-catchers will turn any room in your house into a kaleidoscope of color.
Materials needed:
· Tupperware covers or clear drink lids
· Clear mosaic tiles in assorted shapes and colors (these can be bought at any craft store). You can also use colored tissue paper that has been cut into shapes.
· Ribbon
· Clear glue
· Scissors
· Hole puncher
What to do:
Step One: Punch a hole at the top of the lid.

Step Four: Cut a piece of ribbon, and string it through the hole. You can help her by making a nice bow at the top.
Step Five: Find a sunny spot to hang your project so it can catch some rays!
