1. Can I use different types of paper instead of wax paper?

No, it’s best to use wax paper as it holds up well when melted and allows the colors to shine through.

2. How long should I let the crayon shavings cool after ironing?

A few minutes should be enough for the crayon and wax to solidify.

3. What should I do if my colors didn’t melt well?

Make sure you’re using enough crayon shavings and pressing with enough heat. If colors are uneven, try adding more shavings in the next suncatcher you make.

4. Can I make this craft outside?

Yes, if weather permits, crafting outside can be a fun way to enjoy the outdoors while being creative.
