How do I hang my suncatchers?

To hang your suncatcher, use blue painter's tape or string to attach it securely to a window where it can catch the sunlight directly.

What alternative materials can I use?

If you don't have colored pencils, consider using crayon shavings as an alternative. The results can be similar but may have a slightly different finish.

How do I avoid mess during the melting process?

Place a protective cloth under your wax paper to catch any drips from the melting process, ensuring an easier cleanup afterward.
