Sun Catcher - recycled plastic lid

Today I made a suncatcher using a recycled plastic lid.

Photobucket

First I copied the picture I wanted onto regular paper.

Then I took a Sharpie permanent ink pen and traced the picture on the lid.
Next I used colored permanent markers to color in the picture.

I punched a hole in the top and used a paper clip and suction cup to hold it.
Here is my finished sun catcher!

This would be a great rainy day project for older kids.
