Keep Screen Awake Prevent your screen from sleeping while you cook.

Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C). The gentle warmth will melt the crayons without burning them, preserving the beautiful colors.
As the oven warms, take each crayon and carefully peel off the paper. The soothing act of peeling adds a tactile element to your process.
Next, sharpen the crayons using a pencil sharpener or cut them into tiny pieces with a knife. This creates colorful shavings that will meld beautifully.
Prepare your mold by placing a sheet of wax paper or parchment on the bottom. This will provide a smooth surface for your melted creations and make cleanup easier.
Sprinkle the crayon shavings into the mold, mixing colors as you desire. Visualize how your suncatcher will look when the sunlight shines through.
Once your shavings are arranged, place the mold in the oven. Keep an eye on it, allowing the crayons to melt together into a vibrant pool of colors.
After about 10-15 minutes, check to see if the crayons have completely melted. They should be smooth rather than bubbling. When ready, carefully remove the mold from the oven (using heat-resistant gloves).
Allow the melted crayons to cool slightly before placing them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. This will help them solidify.
Once cooled, gently pop the suncatcher out of the mold. If you used a silicone mold, it should come out easily.
Trim any uneven edges with scissors to create a smooth finish. Then, punch a hole at the top and thread a piece of fishing line or string for hanging.
