Valentines Day Craft: Melted Crayon Suncatchers!

     Sorry for the delay in posting, but somehow I managed to be the only one in the house to catch a cold... and let me just say that it should be against some sort of Universal rule for Mom's to get sick. Bleh. So after a 3 day sick on the couch break... we're back. Thankfully we planned ahead and did these about a week before V-day, but I had to wait to post about it since we were using them as Valentine's! Here is the link to where I got the idea from: http://buggyandbuddy.com/crafts-for-kids-make-a-sun-catcher-with-crayon-shavings/.
    So, I got out some wax paper, and cut it into small squares. Then, I grated (and grated... and grated...) crayons on some leftover paper plates, and cut about foot long pieces of yarn. Then the boys came to the table (after asking approximately 12 BILLION times what we were doing) and got started! You just put one piece of wax paper down, sprinkle the crayon on top, top it with another piece of wax paper and melt it with an iron! Oh, and don't forget that if you're putting your suncatcher on a string, to put the string with the crayon layer, with about 2-3 inches of it sticking on the crayon once you sprinkle it. Then, cut the wax paper into whatever shape you want! They turned out really cool! They had lots of fun making them too! We made 12 total (6 from each kid), but for some reason I totally spaced on taking a picture of all of them done! So I took a picture of the ones they made for Andrew and I. <3
