Valentines Day-Recycled Crayon Cards

So if you’re like me and have older kids, you might have 50 million crayons laying around your house. A few years ago, as we were purging toys to donate, I found crayons everywhere. The kids are now 17 and 13 and were ready to just throw them away (which of course being the hoarder I am, I couldn’t).  I had already at one point made shaped crayons(posted Here), but didn’t use half of what we had. So today I came up with a brilliant idea of making Valentines cards with old crayons. The cards are for my 2 yr olds in our preschool, so they don’t care what the crayons look like.


I definitely had enough to hand out! I found cute Valentines cards using crayons on the Cricut access here and added a fourth one (a bee) for good measure.


So, here are some of the final cards for my little ones to color for Valentines…I hope you like it! (And I also hope I’m not the only one with such a vast collection of old crayons…)

  Here you can see how the paper is crimped...   So all these images keep coming to mind on what kind of quilling-inside-an-ornament I can fathom up now.  Hmmmm.....done this, what about this kind of thing!  Well, I'm having a lot of fun trying out different projects and seeing what and how I can fit things inside those tiny little openings on the DIY ornaments.  This time I was thinking hard about a Christmas tree and how I could put it together inside the ornament and how I could decorate it.  Well, here are some pictures of my thought process and how it came about.  Sincere thanks again to Charlotte Canup of The Art of Quilling  of whom I purchased the pattern to make a snowflake inside an ornament.  She inspired me to go crazy with the desire to see what else I could try! Here I am rolling it with the quilling tool.   Here I've shaped them into squares...   It really is put together inside this flat plastic ornament!!! T...
