Link Parties

Sounds cheesy but these have been the source for most of the craft ideas for Emma to make. Skip to My Lou has a few that are just for Valentine ideas/tutorials.

So I saw the tute for melted crayon shavings hearts and knew that Em would have a blast making ute pink and red hearts.

A few tips:

* Shave your crayons in advance - it will take a while and your fingers will turn fun colors!
* Set your iron to it's absolute lowest setting. Those shavings don't take much to melt
* Don't put too many shavings down are the colors will all run together.

I shaved lots of red, pink and light purple.



When those ran out (took her about 10 minutes! lol) she asked for green and black. She would have contined for as long as I could shave crayons but we had a tropical themed dinner party to get to and she asked me to make her a grass skirt (ribbon and raffia - nothing fancy here!).






The next day we got set up to cut out the heart shapes and hang them in the window. But my little artist had other ideas. A flower, tree, sun and moon.



Beautiful!
