How to Create a Memory SunCatcher

Our core family consists of my parents, me and my 2 siblings, our spouses, and the kids! We are 18 in number. That’s a lot of people that my Mom and Dad spend time praying and thinking about on a daily basis! I wanted to find a way to keep our names in front of them anytime Mom is in the kitchen washing dishes or when she just walks past her window! I wanted to create a simple Memory Windchime featuring each of our names!

Materials Needed

• Wooden Word – Family
• Acrylic Paint
• Fishing Line
• Letter Beads
• Decorative Buttons
• Hot Glue Gun (optional)

Directions

• Paint the wooden word

• If you want a little extra sparkle and don’t have the right paint, you can use a sparkly clear fingernail polish.
• Sort the letter beads to spell the names

• Put a knot at the end of the fishing line
• Slide each name onto the line
• Alternate the names with the handprint buttons
• Tip:  to Keep the names and buttons from sliding together, just make a little knot in the fishing line along the way.
• Tie the line with the names to the wooden sign.
• Use a small suction cup to attach the suncatcher to the window.
• Wrap the individual lines in tissue paper so they don’t get tangled in the gift bag.

• Enjoy the memories of each person every time you see their names
