    Description

    An all-in-one sun-catcher kit!  These laser-cut shapes make amazing sun-catchers!  They are suitable for exterior use, so will look fabulous in your garden! 

    • A Fan shell, Conch shell and a Nautilus Shell – all 100mm high
    • Thickness is 3mm. 
    • Comes with 1 metre of hanging wire, 1 swivel and a string of iridised shell beads.
    • Shapes are covered with a protective paper film on both sides. Image shows shape with protective layer. Remove front layer before mosaicing, and leave the rear layer on until finished as protection against scratching.
    • I recommend using Crystal Fix-All, Prep Multi-Use adhesive or No Days Adhesive

    Custom-made to order – please allow a week for fabrication.

    Usage

    Interior/Exterior

    To build your Suncatcher:

    1. First, select an acrylic shape (they are available here)
      • These  are made of 3mm or 4.5mm clear acrylic (also known as Perspex).
      • You can choose to have a top hole, a bottom hole, or both.
      • You can use some of your own stash to decorate them, or use stained glass or beads – the choice is yours!
    2. Remove the protective paper on one side, and glue your tesserae on with a weatherproof, clear-drying adhesive. I recommend Prep Multi-use adhesive.
      • TIP: you can draw a design on the protective paper on the BACK side of your piece with a sharpie. Remember, it will appear in reverse from the front.
      • Make sure you leave your hanging hole clear.
    3. Use our Suncatcher wire, thread on some Tail beads, and add a tail weight
    4. Use Crimp beads to make the hanging loops, and secure the beads
    5. Squeeze the beads onto your selected wire with a pair of crimping pliers
    6. Attach a swivel & hook – I have a few different choices:
      • an “S” Hook and a Hanger Swivel or
      • a Combination Hook & Swivel
    7. Voila!

    You can use No Days Adhesive film with Acrylic sheets in the oven. This video is from America, so the temps have to be adjusted – 260°F is roughly equivalent to 120°C.

     

    Free Postage (Australia only) on orders above $250 will NOT apply:

    • – If more than one parcel is required.  I will apply Free Shipping to the most expensive (shipping-wise) parcel.  I will bill you for shipping on other parcel(s) in the order.
    • – If a Seniors/Pension Discount code is used.  Please consider carefully which option presents the best value to you.

    Some errors may occur in shipping calculations, due to the complexities of combining products in one order.  If you have overpaid shipping I will refund, or issue a credit. If you have underpaid, I will invoice for the difference.

    I operate this business without assistance.  Whilst I DO endeavour to ship as soon as I possibly can, I cannot guarantee to ship out the same day as the order is received. I am currently shipping orders on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays.

    1-10 Silverback mini glass sheets will fit into a STANDARD SMALL post box.
    1-5 Hobby Squares will fit into a SMALL glass box.
    Larger orders will require one or more LARGE glass boxes.  Express postage on these parcels is dependant on your postcode. Please email me for a quote if required.

    I package carefully. However, damage may occur during transit. Product is shipped entirely at your own risk.

    International Shipping:

    My website does not allow international customers to check out. Please e-mail me a list of the products you want (you can create a wishlist and email it to me), your shipping address and the preferred method of payment. I will prepare a quote and email it to you.  If acceptable, I will send a payment request/invoice. Items will be shipped once payment has cleared.

    Apologies – I do NOT ship glass internationally.  Grouts ship to Australia and New Zealand only.

    Your understanding is appreciated.
