Let's jump right into it! Use the jump links below to head to a specific gift idea, or peruse them all!
Melted Crayon Hearts
Break it up!
- Start with about 100 crayons.
- Remove the wrappers and break them up into small pieces.
Chop away!
- Using a cutting board, chop the crayon bits into even smaller pieces.
Mold it!
- Put the crayon pieces into a heart shape mold, like this one from Amazon.
Cook it!
- Preheat your oven to 240 degrees.
- Bake for about 15 minutes. (Cooking times will vary!)
Cool it!
- Once the crayons have melted, take them out of the oven and cool for at least an hour.
- Then, remove from the mold.
Pop it out!
- These will be easy to pop out of the mold! (And clean up is a breeze.)
Trace it!
- For a handmade card, use a cup as a tracer.
Finished!
- Handwrite a message around the heart crayon.
