home made crayons

so the natives decided to make something for the youngest 

i suggested home made crayons 

they jumped at the idea! hehe

"how do we do it?...will they still color?"

always with the questions my natives..

i told them it was easy and yes they would still color!

i set them down in front of the giant plastic tub that holds our crayons

i said now just start peeling! haha

we used all the broken bits and old crayons

peeled them of their wrappers and filled the molds with them

i turned the oven to about 320*

and we put them in on a baking sheet and watched them melt

took about 10-15 min.

i stirred them up a bit with toothpick

to make sure they were melted through

and to even the colors out a bit

we let them dry and the next morning

popped them out! 

yay gorgeous lovely tree shaped crayons!

tada!

wreaths

This is an example of the wreaths that i make.
Though not that big, they do make quite an impact! They can be hung from doorknobs or just on doors. This one is made from glass balls....

I have also used other materials in making them such as red berries (fake of coarse), candies, bells....ect. Each wreath is handmade, and the base is wrapped with silk ribbon, which can be seen from the back .


I have also made more springtime wreaths. Made from silk flowers, and again the base was rapped in ribbon.



I hope to be making some this yr. especially for the holiday season. I am also taking custom orders on these too!
