This fun and simple kid-made craft can also be turned into a cute Valentine's Day decoration. All you need is wax paper, crayon shavings and some ribbon.
Choose a few colors of crayons- pick ones that blend well together to make it look a little nicer. Use a sharpener or cheese grater to make crayon shavings. Cut a few pieces of wax paper and grate the shavings right onto the paper.
Cover with another piece of wax paper. Heat up an iron. Lay down a towel and place the wax paper on top, folding the towel over the top of the wax paper. Iron over the towel for a minute. It melts pretty quickly.
Remove and let cool, then let the kids cut into heart shapes. Hole punch on both sides of the heart and tie together with ribbons.
Simple & cute- my kids were thrilled!!
What a cute idea! We did stained glass windows that was similar to this project a few years back.
