Instructions
Preparation
- Gather all your materials in a clean, flat area.
- Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C).
Shaving Crayons
- Carefully peel the wrappers off the crayons.
- Use a sharp knife or crayon sharpener to shred the crayons into small pieces.
Arrange Crayon Pieces
- Place a piece of parchment paper onto your baking sheet.
- Use the raindrop-shaped cookie cutter as a mold. Fill it with the shaved crayon pieces.
Melting Crayons
- Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven.
- Let it melt for about 10 minutes, watching closely as the crayons melt into a smooth, colorful puddle.
Cooling and Shaping
- Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let it cool completely (about 30-45 minutes).
- Once cooled, gently lift the suncatcher from the mold. Trim any excess paper if needed.
Adding Hanging Mechanism
- If desired, punch a hole at the top of the raindrop and loop a piece of string or ribbon through for hanging.
