Step by step instructions to create DIY Faux Stained Glass Hummingbird Sun Catcher:
1. Paint or Stain the Outline
Paint the wood outline black for a stained glass look, or stain it for a natural wood finish. Let dry completely.
2. Apply Transfer Tape
Flip the outline face-down and apply paper transfer tape to the back. Press firmly so all the open spaces are sealed. I use a brayer to help adhere the transfer paper.
3. Add Crushed Glass
With the outline face up, fill each section with the appropriate crushed glass colors!
4. Add & Cure Resin
Slowly pour resin over the crushed glass to fill each section. let it cure fully according to the manufacturers instructions.
5. Peel & Seal
Once cured, carefully peel off the transfer tape. Flip the piece over and apply a clear coat of resin to the front to seal and give it a glossy finish. You do not need to do this step, Only if you want a little extra resin.
6. Hang & Enjoy
Add string or hooks through the top holes and display your finished sun catcher in a sunny window!
