Rainbow Suncatcher for Gwen Studios

 Hi everyone!

Gwen Studios not only has some of the cutest ribbons available as you've seen from my past posts, it has spectacular patches.

Here's what I received for this month's designing:

With these, I created a sparkling rainbow suncatcher:

The colors are so bright and cheerful.  I love the polka dots!

To make my suncatcher, I cut 7" pieces of ribbons in rainbow colors and arranged them on the back of one of the rainbows overlapping the edges slightly.

This is the back of the polka dot ribbon.  I glued the ribbon on to hold it in place.  You can also carefully iron-on the ends of the ribbon.  Then, I added a second rainbow patch over the top.  Since they are symmetrical, the edges match.

Before adhering the patches to each other, I inserted a loop of thin white ribbon.  Follow the instructions on the package to iron the patches together.  Then, I trimmed the ends of the ribbons diagonally.

Here's the finished Rainbow Suncatcher.

What a great addition this would make to a child's room or any sunny window!
