Did you have a layer of wax that floated on the top as well, after melting them? I have about 50-50 in pigment and wax... I'm wondering if that's normal or if should have used different crayons (I bought the cheapest ones I could find so that may have been a mistake??). Did you use crayola crayons? Would love to hear your thoughts, thanks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678239524228584463.post-56160223745508004242014-01-29T22:44:35.386-07:002014-01-29T22:44:35.386-07:00We've only used crayons for these.We've only used crayons for these.Daciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345089928521534149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678239524228584463.post-22808806453602314872014-01-28T09:28:18.593-07:002014-01-28T09:28:18.593-07:00I am only 12 years old but I like the ideaI am only 12 years old but I like the ideaSabrinanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678239524228584463.post-70823043012044229602014-01-28T09:27:16.873-07:002014-01-28T09:27:16.873-07:00Can we use oil pastels?

And how well appreciated these were - to make it still better, we managed to find tiny magnets to stick at the back of these, so as to turn them into fridge magnets!!!

I remember when i was little with my mom, taking crayon shavings between wax paper melting with an iron for just a few seconds. Then glued it between two heart cut out construction papers. Took awhile to do but was soo cute. U can even rite a cute note on it too. My son pre-school classmates loved it!

Then you can make the rest with either more or less.

We usually just make it a mix of colors. Another TIP for you.... toss the crayons with the papers on in a bowl of warm water and let them sit for a minute or 2 and the paper just falls right off the crayon. The first year I made these I wanted to scream because some of the papers dont come off easy. But year 2 I did this and it was so much easier!!!!<br /><br />Also you want to avoid putting too many dark colors together or else the crayon ends up looking almost black. I did much brighter colors and it was pretty!Mom to 2 Boyzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11156195011075850470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-678239524228584463.post-53078320337499878452012-01-24T10:17:00.670-07:002012-01-24T10:17:00.670-07:00I LOVED this last year and I'll love it again ...I LOVED this last year and I'll love it again this yeAR!!
