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.

I am currently shipping orders on Tuesdays, Wednesday and Fridays.

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.

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.

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. 

International Shipping:

• – You can now request a Shipping Quote. Please allow a few days to get a response (due to time differences) as these are prepared manually at the end of the business day.
• – If purchasing from the US, be aware that US Government Tariffs and Postal Clearance fees will be included on your order.  Merlin Mosaica charges a small processing fee. Read more here
• – Apologies – I do NOT ship glass internationally. 
• – Grouts ship to Australia and New Zealand only.

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.

Your understanding is appreciated.
