DIY Valentine Hearts Glitter Crayons
I love that this easy Valentine Hearts craft idea can be used any time of year. Just because we are using it as a holiday craft doesn’t mean you can’t make these for any occasion. Grab discounted crayons or use the ones your kids have accidentally broken. No matter what you choose, you’ll love making these fun crayons in the shape of pretty glittery Valentine Hearts.
Supplies Needed:
Crayola crayons
Heart shaped silicone molds
Sharp knife
Glitter
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees
2. Remove the wrappers from your crayons by carefully scoring the crayon wrapper from top to bottom and the wrapper should slide right off (you might have to peel off some of the wrappers)
3. Break each crayon into about 4 pieces
4. Sprinkle some glitter into each heart mold, fill up each mold with broken crayons, and sprinkle a little more glitter on top
5. Place your mold on a baking sheet and into the oven for about 8 minutes
6. Carefully take your tray out of the oven, and set on a flat surface in the freezer for around 20 minutes or until your crayons are cool and solid
7. Carefully remove the crayons from your molds and they are ready to use!

Aw This is Such an Adorable Idea for Kids, Thanks So Much for Sharing! I Love Anything to Do with Arts & Crafts or DIY, I Have Loved to Make Things Like This Ever Since I Was a Little Girl! I Don’t Personally Have Any Kids but I Do Have Nieces & Nephews and They Would Love This! I Think it’s a Cute Idea to Give Kids for Valentines Day with Some Valentines Candy & Maybe a Coloring Book! It’s Also an Awesome Way to Use Up the Nubs of Small Crayons or Broken Crayons! Well Thanks Again for Sharing, Have a Blessed Day My Friend! – Jana
This is so cool!! I love all of the silicon baking molds that have been coming out lately (or at least this is the first I am seeing them)! This would be so fun to do with my little ones for Valentine’s Day. 🙂 Thanks for sharing!
Those are totally cool. I bet you could make them out of tiny old crayons too. Great way to use the old ones and make them special.
I find the silicon baking molds at garage sales, this would be fun to do with the kids. You could do this for many holidays.
What a cute idea! And who doesn’t have leftover crayons!!!!
These are so cute! I love this idea, and the fact that you can do it with any mold to use for party favors or other holidays. My niece is into mermaids right now, and she wants to have a sea-themed birthday party. These would be so cute in a seashell mold.
I love the glitter aspect of this craft! The glitter makes the crayons look brilliant, literally!
This is such a great idea!! I wish my daughter were young again, she would have loved to make this. I think she would enjoy it now even though she is older!
So pretty, lovely idea will have great fun making theses with my 5 yr old granddaughter, I wonder if there is any way of making a hole before it sets to be able to put ribbon through and hang them, any ideas guys
