Method
 

Preparation
  1. Peel the labels off the wax crayons and break them into small pieces, about half an inch long.
  2. Arrange the crayon pieces on your clear plastic or glass base according to your desired design.
Melting the Crayons
  1. Use your embossing heat tool or hair dryer to apply heat to the crayon pieces, ensuring to keep the tool at a distance to avoid burning the wax.
Cooling and Finishing

  2. Trim any excess plastic or glass to achieve a clean edge and attach to your window with adhesive or hang using decorative ribbon.

Notes

Plan your color layout beforehand and work in a well-ventilated space. Allow adequate cooling time to avoid altering the shape of your suncatcher.
