Instructions
Preparation

Creating the Suncatchers
- Use a grater or sharpener to create small shavings from the blue crayons.
- Using a marker, draw raindrop shapes on the clear plastic sheets or wax paper.
- Sprinkle the grated blue crayon shavings inside the raindrop outlines.
- Place the baking paper over the crayon-covered shapes.
- Carefully use an iron on a low setting to melt the crayon, keeping it moving.

- Thread the string or ribbon through the hole for hanging.
Notes
Try using different colors of crayons or mixing multiple colors for unique effects. If you don’t have an iron, you can use the sun to melt the crayon by placing your creation outside on a sunny day.
