SUPPLIES NEEDED TO MAKE MELTED CRAYON ORNAMENT
- Clear plastic ball ornaments
- Old crayons (labels removed)
- Sheet of paper

HOW TO MAKE A MELTED CRAYON ORNAMENT
Use the vegetable peeler to peel at least a half tablespoon of crayon shavings in your choice of colors over a sheet of paper. To make the surrounding look decorative, you can know the difference between Epoxy Vs. Resin Explained !
Remove the top of the plastic ornament. Roll up the outer edges of the paper and position it with a bottom corner going into the ornament – creating a paper funnel. Tap the paper a few times to get the wax shavings to fall into the ornament. Place the top back on the ornament.
Use a hair dryer on the lowest setting to melt the wax shavings. Continue to turn the ornament as you blow dry the outside so the shavings evenly melt around the inside of the bulb.
Add a ribbon or ornament hook to the top and hang on your Christmas tree or give as a beautiful handmade gift!
