DIY Christmas Tree Crayons
This was such a fun little project I did with my 5 year old daughter. She loved the
fact that she was able to break crayons on purpose!! Ha. This DIY could not have been
any easier....Also, these are great gifts for school children, nieces and nephew but I -
truly love the thought of them as a fun stocking stuffer. Be creative and have fun.
All you have to do is take the paper off of the crayons and break them into 3
pieces. I bought these silicone trees at Target and the best part is that you can use
them for baked goods after this project.
Place your colors in the trees and preheat your oven to 275 degrees and bake
for 10 to 12 minutes.
Let them completely cool in the trees and then pop them out
and this is what they will look like. They come out perfectly and are so darling.
Put them in some cute bags and label them and I'd say you'll give a gift that
will impress any little one. Happy Holidays!!!

ReplyDeleteby any chance, do you remember what the name of the brand of the mold is?
ReplyDelete@ lil sugar beanes - I'm not sure the exact brand but I did buy them at Target and usually they sell start selling them again in late November. I hope this helps.
