Top left and right: Second graders made flower sun catchers for Mother’s Day. Glass
noodles were used for the stem and glass
beads for the center.
Bottom right: Kindergarten students used cutriangles for the butterfly’s wings and glass

Procedures
1. Cut clear window glass into
3" squares (teacher).
2. Arrange small pieces of colored
glass, glass noodles, and glass beads
on the clear glass.
3. Glue the colored glass to the clear
piece using a toothpick and white
glue.
4. Lay a wire “U” on the clear glass
and glue a glass piece over the top.
A piece of glass noodle works well
to secure the wire to the glass.
5. Place glass on a kiln shelf that has
been coated with kiln wash.
6. Place kiln shelves in kiln and
fire to 1450°.
7. When glass is cool, tie a piece of
fishing line to the sun catcher
and hang in a window.
