Care Instructions
- Clean gently with a soft, dry or lightly damp microfiber cloth
- For glass or crystal elements, mild soap may be used if needed; dry immediately
- Do not use abrasive pads or chemical cleaners (alcohol, ammonia, acetone)
- Handle with care; suncatchers are decorative art pieces with delicate components
- Store wrapped in soft fabric or padding when not in use
Display Recommendations
- Designed primarily for indoor use
- Hang near a sunny window using a secure hook or string
- Allow space for the suncatcher to hang freely without hitting glass, walls, or objects
- Outdoor display should be limited to covered or protected areas only
Material-Specific Notes
-
Resin: Prolonged direct sunlight may cause softening, clouding, or color change over time
-
Glass & Crystals: Durable but breakable; avoid impact or swinging into hard surfaces
-
Wire Components: May naturally patina over time; avoid moisture to reduce tarnishing
-
Vintage / Upcycled Beads: Natural wear, subtle imperfections, and color variation are expected and part of the design
Important Cautions
- Not a toy; keep out of reach of children and pets
- Small parts may pose a choking hazard
- Avoid hanging near heaters, fireplaces, or extreme temperature changes
- Some crystals may intensify sunlight—do not place where focused light could rest on flammable surfaces

Suncatcher FAQ
Are your suncatchers handmade?
Yes. Each suncatcher is individually handcrafted. Because of this, no two pieces are exactly alike. Small variations in color, texture, and materials are part of the design and should be expected.
What materials do you use?
Materials may include resin, glass, crystals, wire, and vintage or upcycled beads. Some components may show light wear or natural variation, which adds to their character and uniqueness.
Are the suncatchers safe for outdoor use?
Suncatchers are designed primarily for indoor display. They may be placed outdoors only in covered or protected areas. Prolonged exposure to rain, humidity, or extreme temperatures may cause damage or tarnishing.
Will sunlight damage my suncatcher?
Suncatchers are meant to interact with sunlight; however, extended direct sun exposure may cause fading or color changes in resin, beads, or vintage materials over time. This is a natural aging process.
Can crystals cause fire hazards?
For safety, avoid placing your suncatcher where concentrated light could rest on flammable surfaces for extended periods.
How do I clean my suncatcher?
Gently wipe with a soft, dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Mild soap may be used for glass or crystal elements if needed. Dry immediately. Do not use abrasive tools or chemical cleaners.
Will the wire tarnish over time?
Wire components may naturally patina or darken with age, especially if exposed to moisture. This is normal and can add to the organic, handmade look of the piece.
Is this item safe for children or pets?
No. Suncatchers are decorative art pieces and are not toys. They contain small parts and hanging elements and should be kept out of reach of children and pets.
Can I request a custom suncatcher?
