Heart Shaped crayon using recycled crayons..........

Here is a quick and easy Valentines day craft or anytime craft you can do with the kiddo's.

                                        Crayon Hearts made from recycled crayons!

 First gather your stuff together: 


 Broken crayon's
 cooking spray
 candy mold( or ice cube mold, or muffin tins) 
what every you have laying around that can hold hot wax.
pot to melt wax in

Step 1:

Peel crayons and break them into smaller pieces and put them in the pot on the stove.  Since I was using a heart shaped ice cube mold I wanted my crayons to be shades of red ( Pinks, red, redish purples, whites) where the colors I chose.

Step 2:

Stir them while they melt I kept them on the stove on low so they wouldn't harden back up on me.  

Step 3:  

Pour them into your mold sprayed with cooking oil so they don't they don't stick.  Let them cool on the counter for about 10 minutes then I put them in the fridge for about 1hr.


Step 4:

Take them out of the mold and use them or do what I'm going to do and give them as gifts to my son's class for Valentine's Day!

I hope you enjoy this fun craft!
