The magic ingredient

Color Cells: A brand new art material

Color Cells are the translucent premade shapes that create an illuminated stained-glass effect when light passes through them.

Color Cells are magical because they look like real museum quality art while also being so easy to use. They provide instant gratification and you can reposition them to explore the possibilities, giving you peace of mind that you won't mess up or waste your art materials!

JoyJems Color Cells

Good to know

Are JoyJems safe for kids?

Yes — Color Cells are non-toxic, contain no sharp edges, and peel cleanly from windows without leaving residue. Kits are designed for ages 4 and up, with adult supervision recommended for younger children.

Will Color Cells leave marks on my window?

No. Color Cells use a static-cling adhesive that lifts off cleanly without residue, adhesive, or any damage to glass or frames. They can be repositioned and reused many times.

How long does a kit take to complete?

Most kits are designed to be completed in a single sitting — roughly 30 to 90 minutes depending on the design's complexity and the maker's pace. There's no drying time, so you can step back and enjoy it the moment you finish.

Can I move my suncatcher to a different window?

Yes. Carefully peel the Color Cells from your window one at a time and press them onto a fresh piece of acetate or smooth surface for storage. They'll adhere to a new window just as well as the first time.

Do I need any tools or supplies?

Each kit includes everything you need — Color Cells, a cater-peeler tool, and easy to follow templates and instructions. Our Decor Inspiration kits don't come with vases because you can use them to decorate 4 vases with friends!
