Today we’ll get a surprisingly good looking result using wax paper and old crayons. You will need:
- The aforementioned wax paper
- Old crayons
- A grater
- An iron or an iron like tool
Take a sheet of wax paper and fold it in half. Open the paper up and use the grater to shave small shavings of crayon in various colors onto one half of the paper. Distribute evenly and have fun with your color selection. Fold the wax paper over and fold the edges up so you create a sealed packet. If you have an iron, use it to apply even heat across the wax paper until the crayon bits melt and the paper has fused. If, like me, you don’t have an iron, heat a heavy, empty pot on the stove and apply that as an iron.
One way to use your resulting artwork is to cut it into various shapes, maybe hearts or stars, and turn it into a mobile to hang in your window. I have a frosted window treatment on my windows and I simply stuck my creation in one of the panes (see image), as you can see the light through it makes it quite a treat to look at.
