A simple project that transforms broken blue crayons into beautiful suncatchers that catch light.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Assorted Blue Crayons (broken or leftover)
  • 2 sheets of Wax Paper (or parchment paper)
  • 1 Pencil or Crayon Sharpener
  • 1 Iron (set to low heat)
  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 String or Thread (optional)
  • 1 Old Dish Towel or Parchment Paper
  • 1 Hole Punch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Gather your blue crayon pieces and set a sheet of wax paper flat on the protected table.
  2. Sharpen the blue crayons over the wax paper to create shavings.
  3. Spread the shavings across the wax paper into your desired shape.
  4. Place the second sheet of wax paper on top of the shavings.
  5. Protect the iron by laying a towel over wax paper, then heat the iron and press gently until the shavings melt.
  6. Let the wax cool completely on the counter for several minutes.
  7. Use scissors to cut shapes from the cooled wax paper.
  8. Optional: Punch a hole near the top of each shape and thread the string through to hang.
  9. Hang your suncatchers in a sunny window.

Notes

Keep an old towel or parchment between the iron and the wax to protect surfaces. Adult supervision is required for the ironing step.
