Welcome to December, everyone.\u00a0 The race is on to buy all the things, decorate, party, ahd have a wonderful and unforgettable Christmas.\u00a0 We are revisiting one of our favorite DIY Christmas crafts today.\u00a0 It’s cute, child-friendly, easy. and inexpensive.\u00a0 We had so much fun making these DIY melted crayon ornaments last year and love seeing them on our tree again this year.\u00a0 Enjoy the revisit.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We have a simple and child-friendly ornament for you today that you can make with your children and grandchildren.\u00a0 I found this project on Pinterest, and it appealed to me because it was something I could do with Little Miss.\u00a0 She loves doing anything with her hands.\u00a0 She loves to help me cook and bake, and she really gets into coloring, painting, and building things.\u00a0 When Mom, Little Miss and I were in Florida for a week recently, we thought it would be fun to do some Christmas crafts, and this is one that we did.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Materials Needed\u00a0\"DIY<\/h2>\n

To do this craft, you need Crayola crayons, clear Christmas ornaments, utility scissors, a grater, foil, and a hair dryer.\u00a0 We read that the Crayola brand melts the best, so you can just use old ones that are broken.\u00a0 Also, we used plastic ornaments, but glass ones would probably work better.\u00a0 The plus for using plastic ornaments is that Mom dropped one, and it didn’t break.\u00a0 However, they do get a little soft from the hair dryer heat, so plastic balls might get a dent in them here and there, but that’s okay.\u00a0 We put foil on the table to protect it.<\/p>\n

The Process\u00a0\"DIY<\/h2>\n

First up, you need to remove the paper from the crayons.\u00a0 Little Miss loved doing this.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

For the red and green ornament, we grated crayons that were those two colors.\u00a0 Then we just sprinkled them into the tiny hole at the top of the clear ornament and turned on a hair dryer.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

One of us held the hair dryer and one held the ball, which got really hot.\u00a0 One person should be able to do this project alone, but just use a towel to help hold the ornaments and protect your hands from the heat.<\/p>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

For the next ornaments, we cut the crayons into little pieces using utility scissors.\u00a0 Then we just dropped mixed colors into the balls and turned on the hair dryer.\u00a0 As the crayons melted, we kept turning the balls so the colors would blend.<\/p>\n

The Results<\/h2>\n

\"DIY<\/p>\n

No two ornaments are alike, and they truly do look like expensive custom-made ornaments I have seen in high-end shops.\u00a0 We were so pleased with how these ornaments looked at the end and were sorry we didn’t have more balls with us.\u00a0 You could make a bunch of them in an hour if you have all of your items gathered and in one place.\u00a0 Have fun!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thank you so much for stopping by for a visit with us.\u00a0 Let us know if you make these ornaments.<\/p>\n
