Tutorial On Crayon Stained Glass

You will need:  A pile of old crayons, wax paper, a pencil sharpener (optional)  a sharp knife, and an iron  (BE CAREFUL!!) 

Carefully shave your crayon apart...

Into thick or thin shavings...

Use a crayon sharpener to make it easier...

  Put your shavings on a sheet of wax paper.  Now you can either mix the colors...

Or you can have a color theme.   :)

Now add another sheet of wax paper on top, 

And carefully and quickly iron on top of it. (when I say quickly, I mean for like a second)

This is what it should look like.   :)

Now just cut it into any shape you want… beautiful……………………..

Blue As The Sky...

I am sorry, but I think this is just so pretty…………….Blue, Blue, Blue…

An Old Craft...

I made this a long time ago, but I have had nothing else to post, so I thought I would just post this. :)

  I will soon post a tutorial on how to make a shredded crayon "stained" glass craft...

Oh, and one more thing…,

                        Don't forget about flip flops!!!

                        Just take 4 circles of felt...

                     In 2 of the circles make a cut halfway into it.

                          Now just put it on the flip flop...

                       Glue the non cut circle on your bow…..

                       And now glue the two circles of felt together!

Do this to both flip flops and your'e done.   :)

Tutorial On Bow On Clip…

Now that you know how to create a bow, and a double bow… you are ready to put it on a clip. With the bigger bows, you can just glue them on clip like this: 

Or you can try this….

                  An alligator clip works best ^ 

 But this was all I had… So,  follow along and you can apply these intructions to almost any clip.  :)

 Do NOT cut a piece of ribbon just yet, because we don't quite know how long we will need it. (Depending on the size of the clip) So… just Put a strip of glue on the free end of ribbon...

                   Undo the clip and glue it between ...

 Now add glue to the other side. (see picture) 

                     And put the ribbon down on that...

 Now flip the clip over and add glue to the sides of the clip. NOT the ribbon. ( if you use an alligator clip, you will not have to worry about this)

         Now just push the ribbon down over the glue.

 Ok… now you can cut your ribbon….  :)

 Flip the clip over and add a strip of glue.

 Fold the piece of ribbon down into the middle of the clip to finish it off.  (once again, this would be much easier with an alligator clip.)

 Now make a double bow and stack them on top of the clip… (to learn how to make a double bow, go here)

 Cut a short piece of ribbon and put it through the middle of the clip.

                                 Put glue down and wrap the ribbon around, going through the                                        middle of the clip.

                               Now your'e DONE!!!

                                                                So CUTE!

The alligator clip is on the right, and if you use that, you will have to wrap the ribbon around the clasp (see the left side of the right clip)

Tutorial On Double Bow...

Ok. This bow is almost like a normal bow, but it is doubled… (thats why it's called the double bow.)

 You will need: Ribbon thats been cut… 2", 4", and 6"

 Now, following the other instructions on how to make a bow, (click here for directions) Make bows out of the medium and large pieces of ribbon...

                  Add a drop of glue to the large bow...

                     And put the medium bow on top, pressing gently...

 Now take your 2" piece and glue it around both of the bows.

                                             Gluing as you go….

TADA!!! This bow would look so cute with any ribbon… and to wear it in your hair, just attach a clip to the back!  :)
