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

Begin by preheating your iron to a low setting. The warmth will help the crayons melt gently.
While the iron warms, take a sheet of wax or parchment paper. If you're using a heart-shaped template, lay it carefully on one side of the paper.
Start peeling the crayons, revealing their beautiful colors. Let your imagination guide you as you select shades that speak to you.
Grate the crayons carefully using a cheese grater or peel them into tiny pieces. Listen to the soft sounds as they fall onto the paper.
Once you have a gentle pile of crayon pieces over the template, fold the paper over to cover them.
Place the paper, with the crayon pieces inside, between two layers of clean cloth or paper towels. This protects your iron and keeps it clean from any melted wax.
Slowly glide the warm iron over the cloth or towels. Notice how the scent of melting crayon fills the air. The colors will begin to blend and swirl into a beautiful mosaic.
Keep the iron moving to avoid burning the paper. After a few moments, lift the top layer to check the melting progress.
When you're happy with the blending, remove the iron and let the suncatcher cool. Allow it to rest on a flat surface.
Once cooled, use scissors to cut around your heart shape or cut out any desired patterns.
Prepare to hang your suncatcher. You can punch a hole at the top and use string or tape to display it beautifully in your window.
