Can I use different shapes besides pumpkins?

Absolutely! You can create any shape that you like as long as it fits within the melting process. Consider crafting hearts or stars for other seasonal decorations.

How should I store my melted crayon projects?

To keep your suncatchers looking their best, store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not displayed.

Is there a specific type of crayon I should use?

Standard wax crayons work well for this project. Special glitter or metallic crayons can also add unique effects, but they may alter the melting process slightly.
