Earth
Pendant or an Earth Light Catcher
 Make
an Earth Pendant or an Earth Light Catcher to hang in your window.
This simple craft is made from white glue and food coloring.
Earth Day was first
celebrated in 1970.
Supplies needed:
- A piece of acetate (or any piece of
flat, flexible, tranparent plastic or waxed paper)
- A printer
- White glue
- Blue and green food coloring
- A stick for stirring the glue and
spreading it
- Disposable containers for mixing the
glue (old jar lids work well)
- A paper clip
- String or yarn
|
 |
Place a piece of
acetate (or other flexible, transparent plastic or waxed paper) on
top of an Earth printout. |
 |
Mix a batch of blue
glue (a few drops of blue food coloring plus a few spoons of glue)
and a smaller batch of green glue (if you don't have green food
coloring, mix blue and yellow). Mix the glue in disposable
containers (like old lids), using a stick to stir them. |
 |
Spread the glue
mixtures on the plastic to represent the land (green) and water
(blue). Put an unbent paperclip in the glue at the top (this is to
attach the string later).
Let it dry for a few days. |
|
|
Peel the dried
glue off the plastic or waxed paper.
Attach a string or yarn to your Earth
and wear as a necklace or hang in a sunny window! |
