I have always been a bit of a crafty person and my latest love is fused glass. It all started with a beautiful birthday gift from my parents.
I loved it so much that I thought I would look up the seller, and then saw these “make your own sun catchers”
You can choose not to have the hook added which I did so that it could be a coaster instead.
I started with the garden suncatcher from Berry Winter designs. It turns out that this is an easier kit. You are sent everything you need to make a sun catcher. Basically all you need to do is glue the pieces into place. Then package it back up and send it back to be fired. A few days later and this arrived.
I was so pleased with it, I decided to buy another one with some left over birthday money. This one is a harder kit in my opinion. Mainly as the pieces are smaller and in requires more waiting time for bits to dry. Not great for someone like me who is impatient!
And here is the finished design. (It looks different as unfortunately Royal Main smashed up my first attempt, but Berry sorted this out for me and I had a second go.)
Having looked through Etsy, I think my next fused glass project will be some Christmas decorations. Yes I know I am a little early but now school is back, Christmas will be with us before we know it!
Have you tried fused glass? What crafts do you enjoy?
They look amazing! What a great idea for a craft kit, I am very tempted by the beach scene!
