The Paisley Farmhouse

You need: old crayons and a cookie cutter
(We now have cookie cutters at The Paisley Farmhouse! These photos show our bunny cookie cutter.)

This is a great way of recycling old crayons into new, even more fun crayons! I took a bunch of runty old crayons and placed them (unwrapped) in an old baking pan in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Here's the goo all melted into a liquid of swirling colors.

Let the pan cool and use a cookie cutter to make out the shapes when it is still slightly warm to the touch.

Here's the sheet of melted crayons cooled off. Let it cool completely before you handle it and release your shapes. Be gentle.

And here they are: bunny crayons! I LOVE how all the colors melted together to make beautiful swirls of color. Cool, huh?

2 slices white bread

cookie cutter (Now available at The Paisley Farmhouse)

Make 2 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. Make one with wheat slices and the other with white slices. Keep the peanut butter and jelly layers thin.

Use a cookie cutter to cut out the same silhouette in each sandwich.

Then switch the cutouts between sandwiches.
