Written by Claire

Another ‘luurvely’ Valentine gift idea! Melt your old bits of crayons into heart shapes and use to decorate cards or magnets…

Claire’s Tip: I am really pleased with the result of this little experiment….HOWEVER……things didn’t go quite to plan so BE CAREFUL!

You Need:

To Make:

  • Break up old crayons into small pieces
  • Fill up  the sections of the rubber baking tray

break crayons

  • Put in the oven – I had the oven set to 200 c and left the crayons ‘cooking’ for 5 mins. This was either too hot or too long because look what happened!! (see below picture)

melted!

 

  • But we perceived! Keep a close eye on your oven and once melted remove and allow to ‘set’.
  • Peel out the heart shaped  melted crayons and stick to a card with a heartfelt message!
