Let him wrap them with colored tissue paper & just put in plain white bags. Made gift tags with him that I just cut from colored computer paper & let him write who it was to & from. He enjoyed it so much & everyone in the family lived them. I will caution the glass gets very hot. I had to do the melting & had to end up putting on a pair of winter gloves to keep from burning myself. A pot holder was too bulky. It was also a great afternoon spent at Grandma's house.

I waited about 10 minutes before the crayon even started to melt a little and it did not just flow around and look pretty. I got frustrated and stopped. This is a gorgeous project but with kids it is just ridiculous to have them stand blowing a hot hair dryer on glass for 10+ mins. I was VERY disappointed and yes Crayola crayons were used.Holly Waterfallnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7499858904102033753.post-64792377147324710932014-11-13T12:39:17.381-06:002014-11-13T12:39:17.381-06:00Depending on how the centerpiece is arranged, is t...Depending on how the centerpiece is arranged, is there a way to use a string of battery-operated white lights?

Also, to prevent the crayon dust from collecting in a lump at the bottom, first rinse the inside of the ornament with warm water first. Drain the water and then use a funnel to put in the dust and roll around so it sticks to the sides before applying heat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
