Heart Shaped Crayon Valentine's





I made 60 of these valentine's for my 7 year old twins classmates. We are not allowed to send in food treats so I figured this would be a useful fun gift! (I'm not quite sure but I think an alarm will go off if a cupcake enters the school building!!!!!!!!!)
I made the crayons with a heart shaped silicone pan. It took quite a while because the pan only made 6 at a time and I only had 1 pan!!!!
The hearts are all from the sweethearts cricut cartridge.

Materials:
Wilton heart shape silicone pan
At least 4 crayons per heart broken up
Patterned paper - K& Co.
Journaling and sentiment stamps from My Creative Time - My Journaling and You Had Me at Chocolate Sets
Twine
Eyelets
Ribbon
buttons
pop dots

I put the filled heart pan in the oven for about 10 - 15 minutes @ 250 degrees. They needed to cool for at least 30 minutes. I attached them to the front of the Valentine with 2 pop dots.
I will be entering this in the Wacky Wednesday Valentine Challenge

Thank you for stopping by! I appreciate every single comment and follower!!! Have a great day! Love, Cathryn <3

I made those same crayons two years ago for my niece's party at school. They all loved them. There was one difference between yours and mine. I put mine on a round white card stock and colored it like the plant earth and wrote the verse that goes,"you color my world."
Great job! I am glad to see someone else does this. The kids all seem to really love them.
