Supplies

Waxed Paper

White Card Stock or Heavy Paper

Bits of leftover red crayons

Warm iron in the hands of an adult

Scissors

Fishing wire

Instructions

Print the ladybug pattern on the white card stock or heavy paper. Use sharp scissors or an Xacto knife to cut out the inside areas first. Then cut around the outside of the ladybug to create the frame for your suncatcher. Make 2 if you want your suncatcher to look good from both sides

Place a piece of wax paper a little larger than the area for the ladybug's body. Sprinkle crayon shavings (sparingly!) on wax paper.

Place another piece of wax paper on top of shavings and a blank sheet of paper or a cloth over that. Gently press down with a warm iron. Crayon will melt quickly.

Glue finished wax paper between the two black ladybug outlines and let dry

String up in the window with a piece of fishing line.
