Ingredients
Materials
- 5 pieces Blue crayons (or any desired colors)
- 1 sheet Wax paper
- 1 unit Iron Set to low setting, no steam
- 1 unit Scissors
- 1 unit Heart-shaped or raindrop-shaped cookie cutter (optional) Use other shapes if desired

Instructions
Preparation
- Set up a clean, flat surface to work on.

Crafting
- Peel the wrappers off the blue crayons and break them into small pieces (about 1-inch).
- Scatter the crayon pieces evenly on one half of the wax paper.
- Fold the other half of the wax paper over the crayon pieces to create a pocket.
- Heat the iron to a low setting (no steam) and carefully press it onto the folded wax paper to melt the crayons; move the iron gently.
- Once melted and cooled slightly, remove the wax paper.
- Use your cookie cutter to cut out shapes from the melted crayon sheet.
- Use string or place them in a frame, then hang them in a sunny window to catch the light!
Notes
Customize colors by mixing in other colors, or add eco-friendly glitter for a sparkly effect. You can also experiment with different cookie cutter shapes or textures by flattening or crumpling the wax paper.
