Can I use broken crayons for this project?

Yes! Broken crayons are perfect for this craft, and they can be repurposed into beautiful art.

How long does it take for the crayon art to cool?

Allow the melted crayon art to cool for about 15 minutes or until it is solid.

There may be a slight waxy smell while melting, but it should dissipate quickly.

Use a damp cloth to easily collect crayon shavings without scratching your work surface.

Add the Crayon Shavings: Spread a thin layer of crayon shavings across the center of the wax paper.
Cover with the Second Layer: Place the second piece of wax paper on top of the shavings.
Melt the Crayons: With adult supervision, gently press an iron on a low setting over the top layer of wax paper.
Trim the Design: Once cooled, carefully trim around the haunted house outline.
Display Your Art: Use clear tape or a glue stick to adhere your colorful facade to the window.

Always supervise children during the ironing step to ensure safety.
