Christmas!

I cant wait for looking around the christmas shops at all the decorations, thinking of ways I can make them myself! I have been having a look around the web for some inspiration and here are a few of my favourites.

Wax Crayons

Evening! Hope you all had a good Halloween. Just thought I would share something I have been doing recently as most of my projects currently are swap related I have to keep them secret!!

Pop some broken up wax crayons in a silicone mould - zap in the microwave for 30 seconds - keep going until melted and .....

You get multi coloured crayons! I am going to try and get some more exciting moulds so that I can make fun shapes! I find that crayola crayons work best!
