Can I use other types of crayons?

While standard wax crayons work best, you can also experiment with colored pencils, but results may vary.

What if my suncatcher isn't melting properly?

Make sure you're using enough heat from the iron and that you’re pressing down evenly. If needed, try adjusting the temperature slightly.

While cooling, carefully wipe off the crayon residue with a cloth. You can also use parchment paper to prevent it from sticking in the first place.

Absolutely! Just adjust your wax paper size and the amount of crayon you use accordingly.

A fun and creative way to repurpose old crayons into beautiful suncatchers that brighten your home.
