Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).

- Remove the wrappers from your crayons and break them into smaller pieces (about 1-inch). Scatter the pieces on the parchment paper.
Melting Process
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and allow the crayons to melt for 10-15 minutes, watching closely to prevent overheating.
Shaping Suncatchers
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and, while the wax is still warm, use a raindrop-shaped cookie cutter to cut out shapes.
- Let the melted wax cool slightly before gently removing the shapes with a knife.
Finishing Touches
- Use a hole punch to make a hole at the top of each raindrop, if desired.
- Thread a piece of string or fishing line through the hole for hanging.
- Hang your suncatchers in windows to enjoy the colors in sunlight.
Notes
Experiment with color combinations, different shapes, and layering for unique suncatchers. Supervise children while using the oven.
