{Tutorial} Homemade Crayons

This year instead of filling Valentine goodie bags with just sweets, I am also going to be adding heart shaped crayons for the girls' to give to their friends at school. This is a very easy and simple project to do. It is a fun craft project to do with your little ones as well.

 

Use old, broken or new crayons!

Remove paper and break crayons into small pieces. Place broken crayons in a muffin tin.  If not using silicone trays, I suggest spraying the tins with a little vegetable spray.



Place tin in oven at 275 degrees F for about 7 minutes or until melted.  The crayons do melt fast!

When melted, carefully remove from the oven.  Let them cool completely (can be placed in the freezer to speed up process once the tin is not so hot.)

Once cool, the crayons can be popped out of the muffin tin.  Then get the paper out and you are ready to color or use your new crayons as party favors!

{Real Party} Hello Kitty Themed Birthday Party

We decided to have a joint birthday party for Annabelle and Madeleine this year since their birthdays are three weeks apart. When I asked Annabelle what kind of party she wanted, she quickly replied that she would like a Hello Kitty party. When I started looking for ideas, I instantly fell in love with these Hello Kitty shirts from Modern Frills. They became the inspiration for designing the party decor.

I made the invitation using a digital file that Audree from DecorArtist created by making a similar pattern from Heather Bailey's Pop Garden Tiled Primrose fabric which was used in the shirts. I tried to incorporate the design throughout the decor pulling the orange, yellow, green and pink as the colors for the party.

Hello Kitty crayons I made from broken crayons.
