Earth Pendant or Earth Light Catcher
Make an Earth Pendant or Earth Light Catcher to hang in your window. This simple
craft is made from white glue and food coloring.
Supplies needed:
 A piece of acetate (or any piece of flat, flexible, transparent plastic or waxed
paper)
 A printer
 White glue
 Blue and green food coloring
 A stick for stirring the glue and spreading it
 Disposable containers for mixing the glue (old jar lids work well)
 A paper clip
 String or yarn
Instructions:
1. Print out a picture of the Earth. Choose between the Western Hemisphere and
the Eastern Hemisphere.
2. Place a piece of acetate (or other flexible, transparent plastic or waxed paper) on
top of an Earth printout.
3. Mix a batch of blue glue (a few drops of blue food coloring plus a few spoons of
glue) and a smaller batch of green glue (if you don't have green food coloring,
mix blue and yellow). Mix the glue in disposable containers (like old lids), using a
stick to stir them.
4. Spread the glue mixtures on the plastic to represent the land (green) and water
(blue). Put an unbent paperclip in the glue at the top (this is to attach the string
later). Let it dry for a few days.
5. Peel the dried glue off the plastic or waxed paper. Attach a string or yarn to your
Earth and wear as a necklace or hang in a sunny window!
