crafting with grandma - Crayon Hearts

 

I found a wonderful idea on Pinterest . . . crayon hearts! You can make these from bits and pieces of old, broken crayons . . . rather than throw those old crayons away! It is very simple and fun - a great craft for you to make with your grandchildren!

Supplies -

• broken, old crayons
• heart muffin tins
• paper
• double-side mounting foam
• cardstock
• markers
• scissors

Directions -

• heat oven to 250 degrees
• remove paper from crayons - did I mention this is a fun craft you could make with your grandchildren?!!! :-)
• fill muffin tins with broken crayons
• place in oven until the crayons melt - about 10 to 15 minutes
• allow to cool in pan
• remove from pan, smooth any rough edges by coloring on scrap paper
• cut shapes from cardstock, use foam double-side tape to place heart in the center of your card - write a message
• give to people you know to brighten their day

Have fun with this craft!
