Christmas Tree Crayon Ornaments

Tai used some shaped crayons to make some fun Christmas tree ornaments:


I have seen a lot of shaped crayon tutorials, but she had a couple of great techniques I hadn't seen before that you should check out.  Like using pieces of straws to make the holes for the yarn.  This works for ornaments or a crayon necklace!

Also, instead of putting the crayons in the mold whole, she melted them in a can first:


Having the crayons already melted before you put them in the mold might give them a smoother look.  Plus you can toss the cans when you are done for easy clean up!

Head over to Taidye Original to check them out.  They are a fun craft for the kids and cute to have around if you are having kids over for a Christmas party!
