Sun Catchers

A sun catcher can be made from any doily. Choose a metal ring slightly larger than the doily. Make the doily. Take crochet thread or elastic thread and wrap it through a loop on the edge of the doily and then around the ring. Then move to the next loop on the edge of the doily and repeat. Continue all around the doily. Be sure to pull the thread or elastic fairly tight so that the doily is stretched. When finished attach a loop of thread to the ring to hang the sun catcher up.

If no photo appears, it is not a problem with the web site. There are a few suncatchers which do not yet have photos. To get an idea of what those might look like click on the center or doily whose instuctions were used.
