Description
A fun and colorful craft that transforms crayon shavings into beautiful stained glass shapes for decoration.
Ingredients
- Crayons (various colors)
- Parchment paper or wax paper
- A pencil sharpener
- An iron (with adult supervision)
- Scissors
- Cookie cutters or templates (for different shapes)
- Optional: black construction paper or glue (for frames)
Instructions
- Gather your crayons and carefully peel off the wrappers.
- Use a pencil sharpener to shave the crayons into small flakes.
- Place a piece of parchment or wax paper on your work surface and spread the crayon shavings evenly on one half of the paper.
- Fold the other half of the parchment paper over the crayon shavings to protect them from direct heat.
- Heat up the iron on a low setting and press it down gently on the folded parchment paper, moving it carefully until the shavings fuse together.
- Once cooled, unfold the paper and use cookie cutters or templates to cut out shapes from the colorful design.
- Display the shapes in windows or frame them with black construction paper or glue for added contrast.
Notes
Ensure adult supervision when using sharp tools and the iron.
