-
Cut two pieces of wax paper, about 18 inches long each.
-
Tape one piece to a table so it will stay in place while kids are working.
-
Starting with an empty pencil sharpener, have kids twist down to shave the crayons as much as possible.
-
Spread the shaved wax across the piece of wax paper, then lay the second piece of wax paper on top and tape that in place.
-
Have an adult use an iron to melt the crayon wax between the wax papers, start with a low setting and increase the temp as needed.
-
The wax will harden right away and you can trace or free hand draw raindrops and cut them out.
-
We cut the baker's twine into a bunch of different lengths and added them to the embroidery hoop by doing a bunch of simple Larks Head Knots.
-
Glue the raindrops to the twine, hot glue is fastest for an adult, or kiddos can do this with craft glue on their own and wait a bit longer for it to dry.
-
Add the cotton to the top of the ring with hot glue.
