Hanging hearts are easy to make from waxed paper and crayons. In return, sunbeams will color your room with cheer.                                                                                                              Make lots of crayon shavings with a pencil sharpener. Place shavings on a piece of wax paper. Either place another piece of wax paper on top or fold over the edge to cover all of the shavings. Iron on the lowest setting for about 1 second. You can go always go longer after checking to see if the shavings have melted. Be careful to not burn the wax paper. It is a good idea to do the ironing on a piece of newspaper to protect the surface under–better safe than sorry!                                                                                       Next, trace and cut out hearts of various sizes. String each heart with ribbon or thread. Hang and enjoy the love!

    They fall apart easily. I forgot how to make them. But this is a much up to date craft project!
