What you need:
Crayons, cut up into as small pieces as you can (you only need about 2 full crayons per project).
Cardstock
Scissors
Iron (one you don't mind getting messy)
Wax paper
Newspaper
Stapler or glue
Lay newspaper out to protect your table, thick enough it won't soak through. Cut a piece of wax paper to size, and fold it in half.
Open up the wax paper.
Get out your cut crayons.
Spoon/arrange some cut crayons on one side of the wax paper, and refold it so the crayon pieces are sandwiched between the wax paper.
Put 1-2 pieces of newspaper over the wax paper and crayons. Iron until completely melted (you'll feel that it's flat).
Be careful, melted crayon tends to leak out.
Take off the newspaper, and remove the wax paper (be careful, it's hot).
Let cool and dry (it doesn't take long).
Cut out your shape from the cardstock, and staple or glue it to the wax paper.
Trim off excess wax paper.
If you're hanging it somewhere that both sides will be shown, attach another cut out of cardstock to the back.
And you're done!
Now hang it in the window.
Some other ones we did.
