Japanese Maple / Marijuana Leaf Sun catcher

I created this Japanese Maple leaf and friends named it the ‘Marijuana Leaf Sun Catcher“. It may be odd but people sure like it, and the rainbows it casts on the walls add to the hippy style, and frankly its so UP-lifting every time you see them.

NO starching needed.
This beautiful nine inch diameter sun catcher is made with GOLD METALLIC crochet thread and finishes up so nice! It Glitters with gold thread and the crystals throw PRISM - RAINBOWS on the walls when the sun hits it.

It is made on a 9 inch diameter brass ring that you can find in any craft store and most department stores in the craft section.(for $2.00)

SUPPLIES NEEDED

2.5 mm crochet hook
200 yards crochet thread /your choice (not yarn)
9 inch diameter brass ring
Mono filament thread (clear plastic thread or thread you prefer - to sew on beads)

4 Acrylic faceted prism half inch beads are OPTIONAL ($3.00 easy to find) - (PLASTIC FACETED PRISM BEADS WILL MAKE RAINBOWS / PRISMS ON YOUR WALLS)
1 large acrylic faceted prism bead to hang from bottom is OPTIONAL.
