Crayon Heart Melts

4/22/2015

When I was young, I looked forward to a new box of Crayons. It was so exciting! Today I look forward to having the old and broken. Crayon Melts are very simple to do. These were made for the Art Bus's Birthday gift bags.
Kids Can:
Step 1. Peel the crayons. I suggest soaking in warm water to ease the peeling process.
 Note:  Let crayons completely dry prior to beginning project. 
Step 2. Separate by the crayons by color
Step 3. Place pieces in a zip lock bag and break up with a wooden mallet.
Step 4. Take your mini heart muffin tin and oil the hearts using a paper towel.
Step 5. Place pieces of crayons by color in the tin hearts. I over stuffed the hearts to melt at the correct    thickness.
Grown Ups:
Step 6. Place Tin on a metal baking sheet. Note: This is a protective measure against spills.
Step 7. Set gas oven to 275 degrees. I'm not sure of the temp. for an electric oven. Place in oven.
Step 8. Set timer for 5mins. take a peek. reset timer for 5 more mins.
Step 9. Remove from oven. Let cool for 30 mins.
Step 10. When you can handle the tin, place in the freezer for 2 mins. The Hearts will fall right out.

    Hello,
    I love creating art, especially with other people. I enjoy, and have dabbled in all forms of art, including sculpture, oil painting, jewelry making, carving, and ceramics. Printmaking, watercolor/acrylic painting and pen and ink are my favorite mediums to work with.  My fondness for this began with my love of scene painting in the theatre. The theatre is one of the best places to create art with a team. I moved on to teach children the art of scene painting and later to create Team Art, as an interactive instructor/art teacher. This is a method of working together in support of each other to create larger pieces of art. It’s a thrilling process. 

    My husband and I met 20 years ago in a printmaking studio. Creating art since, especially with our children, has been the most special.
    The best part about the Art Bus for me, is my family is together creating art and sharing ideas. I'm so glad we could make this happen. I'm so happy my husband made this happen. 
    Let's create art! We want to share with you.
