My daughter and I recycled our Oui yogurt glass pots into tea lights for our Ramadan craft today. We plan on putting them in the back yard this summer for outdoor parties.

If you decide to make this, post it using the tag #CraftyRamadan and #PlaidRamadan to be entered into our $50 giveaway!

Supplies

• Frosted glass paint
• Paintbrush
• Blue tape
• Oui yogurt glass pot
• Scissors

Start by cutting the blue tape into small squares.

Place the square on the glass pot, then add another but offset it to make a star. This eight points star is called a khatam in Arabic.

Continue to add more khatams all the way around the glass pot.

Add a thin line of blue tape to the top and paint the entire glass pot.

We placed our pot in the sun for a few hours and once it was dry, we used the tip of the scissors to peel off the blue tape.

Now all we need is a LED light inside for our khatam star design to shine through. Never leave a light unattended and be careful with small children and pets when you have a light on.

Make a few more and play around with the khatam shapes this time.

We made this suncatcher as part of our Ramadan crafts today that says Allah, the Arabic word for God, for a special soul.

Our beloved pet, Shems the Siamese cat, who was 16 years old, passed away today and we buried her in the back yard.

We thought this suncatcher, placed right over where she is, below our living room window, would be a good way to remember her. My daughter helped me pick out the colors and the design then took part of her day to put it together.

Supplies

• Gallery glass – Red, pink, yellow, green, light blue, dark blue & clear
• Liquid lead
• Leading blanks
• Paper templates deisgns

We started by placing the background design on the back of the leading blanks and outlining the dark lines with the liquid lead.

The next step is to place the Allah printout behind the leading blank and outlining all the lines also.

My daughter helped me fill in all the gallery glass colors, making sure not to leave any bubbles. She used the clear gallery glass for the middle. She tapped the bottom of the leading blank, gently under each color after filling it in, to get rid of bubbles she did find.

We let the suncatcher sit on a flat surface for eight hours, then peeled it off the leading blank.

Now it was ready to hand in our window.
