![](https://www.freekidscrafts.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/crayon-flower-suncatcher.jpg)
Everybody knows that crayons can be used to make beautiful pictures, but did you know that those leftover bits and pieces of crayon can turn into beautiful sun catchers?
Trivia:
The first crayons were created with dry carbon black and different waxes. The first box of Crayola Crayons was produced in 1903 as an 8 count box. It sold for a nickel and contained the colors red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, brown and black. Source: Crayola – What was the first crayon color produced?
Supplies
- Waxed Paper
- Bits of leftover crayons
- Warm iron in the hands of an adult
- Scissors
- Fishing wire
- Beads (optional)
Instructions
- Place a piece of wax paper over flower pattern. Sprinkle crayon shavings (sparingly!) on wax paper following the design on the download.
- 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.
