upcycled wax crayon heart valentines
if your house is anything like ours.. your craft cupboard will be filled with broken crayons and mismatched sets collected from cafes and party bags.
if this annoys you as much as it does me - i give you a simple craft to repurpose then into sweet valentines
inspired by the wonderfully creative @woodlark
YOU WILL NEED
old wax crayons… any kind will do
silicone mould… whichever shape you fancy (we went for a heart shaped silicone tray)
scraps of cardboard (or pre-cut kraft gift tags)
WHAT TO DO
remove the paper wrap from all the old crayons
break them into smaller chunks if you have any longer ones (to fit into the mould)
fill your moulds so they overflow a little (they will shrink down when they melt)
pop them into the oven on a low temp for around half an hour at about 90 degrees celcius
bring them out and let them cool and solidify before removing them from the mould
we then used glue dots to attach them to lil scraps of card with messages stamped on for her friends
hand them out with much love
