Blue Crayon Raindrop Suncatchers
A creative and calming DIY project to make beautiful suncatchers using blue crayons that catch and reflect light beautifully.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 10 pieces Blue crayons (different shades for variety)
- 1 each Silicone mold in a raindrop shape Easy to find
- 1 each Baking sheet
- 1 each Oven (or a heat source for melting)
- 1 each Parchment paper (optional for extra protection)
- 1 each Toothpicks or skewer For swirling colors
- 1 each String or ribbon For hanging
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to a gentle temperature, around 200°F (93°C).
- Break the blue crayons into small pieces.
- Place the broken pieces into your silicone mold.
Melting
- Once the oven reaches the right temperature, carefully place the baking sheet with the mold inside.
- After about 10-15 minutes, the crayons will have melted into smooth puddles.
- If mixing shades, use a toothpick or skewer to gently swirl the melted crayon.
Cooling and Finishing Touches
- Carefully remove the mold from the oven and let it cool completely.
- Once cool, gently pop the suncatchers out of the mold.
- Tie a piece of string or ribbon through the top of the raindrop shape for hanging.
Notes
Lightly dust them with a soft cloth occasionally to maintain their shine. Be mindful of direct sunlight to avoid softening the wax. You can reuse the suncatchers by melting them down again for new designs.
