What happens if I burn the wax paper?

If the wax paper burns, it will create a mess and a smoke smell. Keep the iron moving and use it at a low setting to avoid this.

Can I use any type of crayons?

Yes, but make sure they are non-toxic and safe for children.

Younger children should be supervised, especially around the iron and scissors.

You can draw your own designs on the wax paper or use templates for various shapes.

The suncatcher should be ready to display as soon as it cools, which only takes a few minutes.

It’s best to display indoors as prolonged exposure to the elements can damage it.
