How to Make Blue Crayon Raindrop Suncatchers

  • Start by selecting a variety of blue crayons, removing their wrappers with care.
  • Use a pencil sharpener to shave the crayons into small bits. Spread these colorful shavings evenly on a sheet of waxed paper.
  • Gently place another sheet of waxed paper over the crayon shavings.
  • Set your iron to the lowest setting. Carefully iron the top sheet for about 10-20 seconds until the crayons melt.
  • Once melted, let the wax cool completely on a flat surface.
  • After cooling, use scissors to draw and cut out raindrop shapes from the melted wax.
  • Punch holes at the top of each raindrop shape. Thread your embroidery floss or string through these holes and tie a secure knot.
  • Hang your suncatchers in a sunny window and enjoy!

Notes

Optional: Tie a decorative bow at the top for an extra charming touch. Store suncatchers flat in a cool, dry place when not displayed.
