i forgot to post these, but i actually made them a couple years ago. I know everyone made these in school.










If you never made these in school, or you just forgot, here's the how-to:

-Cover your table or ironing board with newspaper
-Lay a sheet of wax paper on top
-Sharpen crayons of your choice over the wax paper, distributing evenly. You can use several colors as desired. Don't worry about covering thickly, you want lots of spaces.
-Lay another sheet of wax paper over the shavings, iron on a medium heat, no steam. Keep going over it until it is all melted and spreads into all the empty spaces.
-Let cool completely before moving (won't take long).
-Once cool, cut into desired shapes (like hearts, or leaves for the fall).

You can use these to make very elegant valentines, hang them in your windows, or stick them on with double stick tape, spread them over a table for festive party decor, etc.
