Waxed Heart Display
*Begin with a 12-by-16-inch sheet of waxed paper.
*Fold it in half along its length; unfold.
*Deposit wax-crayon shavings (made with a handheld pencil sharpener) evenly but not thickly across one half of the paper.
*Fold the clean half of the paper over the shavings.
*Crimp the three open edges with a 1/2-inch fold to hold the shavings.
*Protect your ironing surface with kraft paper.
*Place the waxed paper on the kraft paper, and cover it with another sheet of kraft paper.
*Iron lightly on medium heat, checking after every few passes.
*Stop when all the shavings have melted; let cool.
*Next, trace and cut out hearts of various sizes.
*String each heart with a silk thread for hanging.
*Have a wonderful Valentine’s Day!
