Surprise your sweetie with some cute
Valentine’s decorations. All you need is some crayons, a pencil sharpener, wax
paper, card stock and some craft paper (or a couple paper bags).
Tear off a piece of wax paper.
Remove the label from a crayon and run it through a pencil sharpener so the
shavings are distributed across the wax paper.
Use one color or mix the colors if
you like.
Use two pieces of craft paper (or
cut up pieces of paper bag) to protect the ironing board. Place the wax paper
and crayon shavings on top and top that with another piece of wax paper. Take
two more pieces of craft paper to protect the iron and melt everything
together.
I have a special iron I reserve for
craft projects such as this. It was the most inexpensive iron I could buy back
in my college days. Sometimes the wax can still bleed through the layers of
paper, and it can be difficult to clean, so keep that in mind when doing this
project.
Make a heart by folding a piece of
card stock in half, drawing half a heart, cutting the shape out and unfolding
it. This will be your template.
On your melted wax paper and crayon shavings,
trace the heart.
Cut out the hearts using all the
different colors.
Use a needle and thread, or a hole
punch to attach a string.
Tie the hearts to a curtain rod or
tape them to a window, attach them to a present, or slip one in your sweetheart’s
lunch for a nice little surprise.
