Here is a great
Valentine's craft project
I got from
These are so pretty and were easy to make!
All you need are:
Crayon shavings of your choice colors
Waxed paper
Iron and ironing board
Towels that you don't mind getting soiled with color
Scissors
Directions:
Begin with a 12-by-16-inch sheet of waxed paper.
Fold it in half along its length; unfold.
Deposit wax-crayon shavings (made with a handheld pencil sharpener)
evenly but not thickly across one half of the paper.
Fold the clean half of the paper over the shavings.
Crimp the three open edges with a 1/2-inch fold to hold the shavings.
Protect your ironing surface with kraft paper.
Place the waxed paper on the kraft paper, and cover it with another sheet of kraft paper.
Iron lightly on medium heat, checking after every few passes.
Stop when all the shavings have melted; let cool.
Next, trace and cut out hearts of various sizes.
String each heart with a silk thread for hanging.

Melted crayon masterpiece.  |
I decided to tape mine directly to the windows for
a "stained glass" effect.
I love it when the sun shines through
them in the afternoon!
It makes my kitchen so cheerful.
Happy St. Valentine's Day!
