How do I clean up if crayon wax spills?

Use a paper towel to absorb excess wax while it’s still warm, and wash the fabric with hot, soapy water to remove any smaller residuals.

Can this be made ahead of time?

Yes, you can make your wreath a week ahead. Just store it in a cool place to protect the colors.

What should I do if I don't have a hot glue gun?

You can use craft glue instead, but it may take longer to dry and less secure over time compared to hot glue.
