It's not just my summer job…. it's an adventure.

Melted Crayons & Rock Decorating

on July 9, 2012

This is something fun that my friends & I used to do when we were little. The girls have been begging to have a playdate with my little brothers, so we thought it would be the perfect day to do some crafting!

What to do:

• Choose a bunch of good-sized rocks and place them on a baking sheet.

• Put them in the oven at about 260 degrees for 16-20 minutes.

• I bought a roll of thick paper at Lowe’s last year, and I thought it would be a good idea to place that over the table so crayon wax doesn’t spill everywhere. Plus, I let them color on it while the rocks were warming up.

• If the rocks are hot enough, when you touch the crayons to them, it should just melt right on it. Be careful not to burn yourself!

The birdies & my brothers love it.

• It’s so easy, and a perfect craft for killing some time. I love how it doesn’t take many supplies too. Have fun!
