Valentine Suncatchers


{or How We Added a Little Color to Our Graywhite January)















































Create Crayon shreds with a pencil sharpener.
Sprinkle between two layers of wax paper.
Melt with a warm iron (slide a piece of paper betweeen the wax paper and iron so you don't get wax on your iron).
Trace and cut out your hearts (or any shape you'd like).
Hang with embroidery thread or tape to your windows.

Smile.

  10. This is the most beautiful Valentine project I have seen this year! I love this! I pinned this! Now I need to find a crayon/pencil sharpener and hope my little grandson doesn't mind me stealing his pink and red crayons!!
