MY GREEN SIDE · craft

by Wendy Gabriel

We spent an afternoon making crayon hearts for Little Greek goddess’s classmates for Valentine’s Day. A friend of mine suggested the craft because she knows how I love to reuse and my aversion of sugar. We were so pleased at how they turned out… they’re adorable!

Here’s all the information in case we’ve inspired you to make this cute and practical Valentine’s craft:

Materials

Crayon pieces (Tip: dip crayon pieces in warm water to make removing the paper a lot easier)
Heart-shaped metal cookie or muffin tin
Scrap paper
Double-sided foam mounting tape
Scissors
Colored card stock
Marker

Instructions

Heat the oven to 250°.

Fill each mold with crayon pieces and bake until the crayons melt, about 10 to 15 minutes (Tip: Place a sheet pan under the crayons to catch any drips).

Once they’re cool, remove the hearts from the molds and smooth any rough edges by rubbing them on a piece of scrap paper.

Use small pieces of foam tape to stick each heart to a 3-inch circle cut from card stock — or use our template, then add your message.
