Melting Into a Little Christmas Tree!

This project did that a few tries to figure out. My first try was "LIVE" on a Periscope DIY demo video! UGH! It failed.
I remembered doing a craft as a child with white placemats, crayons and an iron. I wanted to recreate the idea with a grownup version.
A white snowy christmas tree shape on burlap. I learned a few things.
It's easier for children to take the paper off a crayon than it is for me.
You have to buy at least a 24 count box of crayons to get a white one.
There's a big difference in crayon prices.

First I tried to grade a crayon like cheese. Don't bother. Chop them like carrots instead!
Chopped to about the size of oatmeal.
Sprinkled on burlap.
Melted! I like the look of lumpy. Click the link to the website to see the melting steps.

I glued the burlap to scrap wood painted white with distressed edges. A glitter star was added on top.
Enjoyed the project?

Jean on Nov 16, 2015I think you can order any amount of any color crayon directly from the Crayola factory in Pennsylvania. I visited there ten years ago or so and you could at that time. Good luck!

Kris10kay on Dec 01, 2015I did something like this! I got my crayons from the Hallmark store! They were 20 for a $1. Love this, super cute!
