Pretty Plastic Light Catchers Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • Boil 3 tablespoons of the water and pour it into the measuring cup.
  • Add 1 envelope of gelatin and a few drops of food coloring.
  • Stir the mixture slowly until it's combined.
  • Let it sit for about a minute, then stir it again to minimize air bubbles.
  • Pour the mixture onto a plastic plate.
  • If you like, sprinkle glitter on top of the gelatin, or add one or two drops of different-colored food coloring and swirl with a toothpick to make a marbled pattern.
  • Repeat above steps with the remaining envelopes of gelatin, varying the shades of food coloring each time.
  • Let the gelatins dry until hardened, at least overnight.
  • Peel them off the plates, then cut them into shapes with scissors.
  • Using a hole punch, make holes at the top of them.
  • If your light catchers start to curl, wrap them in a sheet of parchment paper, then place them between two heavy books.
  • When they're flat, use markers to draw on them, if you like.
  • Suspend each from a string, ribbon, or fishing line and hang in a sunny window.
