Can I use other types of beads?

Yes, you can substitute glass beads with acrylic or wooden beads, but the light-catching effect will differ.

What if I want to create a larger suncatcher?

You can use a larger hoop and increase the length of fishing line for additional beads, just be sure to maintain a secure attachment.

Can these be displayed outdoors?

If displayed outdoors, ensure your materials are weather-resistant, as moisture and sunlight can affect their longevity.

How do I change the color scheme?

Simply switch out the beads for different colors and patterns according to the season or your decor.
