How Much Are Sun Catchers? (+ An Affordable Alternative You’ll Love)

Let’s talk sun catchers! ✨ You’ve probably seen those dreamy photos online: crystals catching the light, scattering rainbows across the room, and generally making everything look ✨magical✨.

But if you’ve ever gone to actually buy one, you might’ve done a double take at the price tag. So let’s break it down: how much do sun catchers really cost in Australia, and is there a more affordable (but still rainbow-filled!) alternative?

Spoiler alert: yes, there is — and you’re going to love it.

💎 The Cost of Traditional Crystal Sun Catchers

Handmade crystal sun catchers are beautiful — there’s no denying it. But they can also come with a not-so-sparkly price point.

In Australia, here’s what you can typically expect:

  • Small handmade crystal sun catchers: start from around $35 AUD
    (These often include just one or two crystals, and make a small rainbow effect — if you catch the light just right.)
  • Larger or more elaborate pieces: can range from $60 to $100+ AUD
    (These are gorgeous, but definitely an investment.)

While they’re lovely to look at, they’re not always the most budget-friendly option — especially if you’re shopping for gifts, redecorating a few rooms, or just starting your rainbow obsession on a student budget or a “rent’s-due-soon” kind of week.
