Make Swarovski Suncatcher – Triple Tree of Life (CH0231)

In case you didn’t know – I LOVE Swarovski. And that is why I created this wirework suncatcher in a Triple Tree of Life hanging mobile. Here are some notes on how to make Swarovski Suncatcher – a Triple Tree of Life free hanging mobile.

I recently discovered how to make Tree of Life pendants, and adapted it to create some of my earlier crystal sun catchers. That led me to combine a single Tree of Life into a Triple Tree of Life Suncatcher using Swarovski-Swarovski-Swarovski! I mean really, can there be better sparkles and happy sunlight reflections than with Swarovski?

MAKE SWAROVSKI SUNCATCHER – TRIPLE TREE OF LIFE MOBILE (CH0231)

Base Materials

• Swarovski #5301 bicone 4mm crystals in colors: Cantaloupe, Golden Shadow, Black Diamond, Alexandrite (now discontinued by Swarovski)
• strong textured iron rings
Important: have/make a loop/bail at the top of each Tree of Life circle (for joining to each other)

TRIPLE TREE OF LIFE SWAROVSKI SUNCATCHER

Join one donut Tree of Life to the other by creating small chains, featuring double-looped Swarovski Black Diamonds.

Finish with a handmade chain at the top for hanging.

This Swarovski suncatcher can be hung flat (e.g. against a window pane) or be allowed to hang freely so it can swing around.

Not a detailed tutorial, but hopefully my short notes on how to make Swarovski suncatcher has given you some ideas for you next sparkly project!
