Instructions
Choose 3-4 colors of crayon for your colorful ornament (we used blues, purples and pinks). Use your whittling tool to shave small pieces of crayon onto a paper plate or piece of paper. You need at least half tablespoon of crayon bits.
Pour your crayon shavings into the inside of the bulb using a small paper funnel. Use your hair dryer on the high setting to melt the crayon pieces inside of the glass ornament. Direct the heat right at the shavings (wear an oven mitt if it’s too hot). As soon as the layer against the glass starts to melt a little bit, turn the ornament so the crayon pieces are in a new spot. Keep blow drying until more pieces start to melt, then turn the ornament again. Repeat until the entire inside of the ornament is covered.
When you're finished, let the ornament cool, attach an ornament hook and hang on your Christmas tree.
