Have you ever thought about creating stunning melted crayon ornaments? It’s easier than you might think, and the end results are simply gorgeous! These DIY ornaments will surely become cherished keepsakes for your Christmas tree. Here’s what you’ll need to get started:

  • plain, clear glass ornaments
  • crayons
  • pot holders or winter gloves
  • hair dryer

Although you can mix different colors, I highly suggest you make each ornament a certain color and pick shades of that color. It gives a really pretty marbled effect. When you mix colors, you can end up with a brown ornament by mistake if the crayons over mix.

I find that cutting the crayon pieces into little chunks or shavings works best as it will shorten the amount of time you need to melt the crayons in the ornament.

You will want to wear heavy winter gloves or use a good put holder because the glass will get hot as you point the hair dryer at the ornament. It needs to get hot to melt the crayons.

As the crayons begin to melt inside you will gently rotate your ornament to cover all the inside glass and create a really pretty pattern at the same time. It only takes about 20 seconds or so.

I did the holding of the ornaments at our house while the crayons were melting. I thought it was just safer. It never got to hot using my winter gloves. Please remember to use caution as you would completing any craft.Ornament crafts for kids

NOTE: Careful supervision is required for this part as the glass will get hot and there is alwasy a remote chance it could break. I suggest parents do this part

    You can do the same with liquid paints. Clean your bulbs with alcohol let dry pour paint down the sides then move the bulb around to speed paint then turn upside and rain exeses paint out. It will marble and move until it dries. I have done 2 colors and 3 colors

    I’m wondering about storage — would they crayons re-melt and become blobs in the bottoms of the ornaments? We store our Christmas stuff in the attic where it gets really hot in the summer.

      They require a LOT of direct heat…. we store ours there too and never had a problem
