Description

Mini Bunting Flags – 10cm or 15cm

These blank shapes are cut from 3mm transparent acrylic for you to mosaic in any design or colours you choose.

Hang from a branch in the garden or fix to an interior window using clear double sided tape.

Each side is covered in protective film to prevent it becoming scratched while you are working.  I only remove the side on which I am going to work while leaving the other in place to draw a rough outline to help me work out my design.  Once your mosaic is complete, grouted and cleaned, remove the other film.  Gently smooth the edges of the glass using a coarse emery board, whet stone or grinding pad to remove any sharp edges.

  • Laser Cut
  • 3mm thick.
  • May need a few days to fabricate
  • Suitable for exterior use
  • 2 Hanging holes at the top.
  • Use with transparent or translucent glass or tiles.
  • Sue recommends using a silicon or polymer adhesive such as  Crystal Fix-All.
  • Prep Multi-Use adhesive or No Days Adhesive also work well too.
    NOTE: 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 – 260Fahrenheit is roughly equivalent to 120Celsius.

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:
  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.

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.

Postage Unders & Overs:

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.  If you feel the postage charge is incorrect – please contact me by phone (most immediate) or email.

No refunds will be given for glass sheets damaged in transit.
I package carefully. However, damage may occur during transit. Product is shipped entirely at your own risk.

Your understanding is appreciated.
