Melted Crayon Sun Catchers

The best craft projects are ones that I can throw together with little preparation and using supplies I already have on hand!  These melted crayon sun catchers fit the bill!  

First cut a rectangle of wax paper.  
Fold in half.
Sharpen old crayons (we got this cute crayon-shaped crayon sharpener at Walmart) and make a pile of small shavings inside your folded wax paper.



Next run an iron over the folded wax paper.  Use the lowest heat setting.  


Finally, we just used plain old masking tape to seal all around the edges before taping them to a sunny window.


They're very abstract and pretty.  If it were up to me, I would have used more crayon shavings and trimmed the final product smaller before taping the edges.  But the kids are pleased with their outcome, so that's all that matters.
