Valentine hearts: melted crayons

What fun to do: Start with a 12"x16"piece of waxed paper.Fold in half, unfold. Put crayon shavings, lots of them, on the paper (not too thick) Fold the waxed paper back over. Crimp the 3 edges about 1/2". (DO NOT forget this step or you will have to part with your ironing board cover!) Put the waxed paper between 2 pieces of craft paper, or any paper that can take the heat of an iron for a few seconds. Iron on medium heat with a few passes in each direction.When shavings melt, stop & let the thing cool off. Now trace heart shapes of various sizes & cut them out. You now have beautiful hearts to make a mobile or to use however you desire. They look stained-glass-like when hanging in a window. I used all shades of pink, red, fuscia, violet, all the usual name brand crayon colors. ($$$store crayons work just as well as long as they are wax.). Please give it a try & let me know how you displayed them to get the full benefit of the translucency.
