Suncatcher Crystals & Supplies

What do you need to make a crystal suncatcher?

For a simple beaded design, start with a drilled crystal pendant or prism, decorative beads, suitable beading wire, compatible crimps and a hanging connector. You will also need cutters and crimping pliers suited to your components. Check that the wire fits through the bead holes and can support the finished design.

Which beads can I use for a suncatcher?

Combine crystal octagon prisms, chandelier beads and colourful glass beads to create your strand. Clear and transparent beads let light pass through, while opaque beads add colour and contrast. Choose compatible hole sizes and allow for the weight of your design.

How do I make a beaded crystal suncatcher?

A simple design uses a crystal drop at the bottom, with beads threaded above it and a secure hanging loop at the top. The attachment method depends on your pendant, wire and findings. Follow our crystal suncatcher tutorial and video for a worked example.
