DIY Sun Banner

Created a cute little banner for my daughters room.  It hangs right over the top of her window so the sun can shine through. 

So easy to make with very little effort. 

First you take some wax paper and cut them into shapes.  In this case I used hearts, but you can let your imagination decide.  I then took a few different colors of wax crayons.  Crayola usually works the best.  You peel the paper off the crayon and gently shave some of the crayon over top of each wax shape.  A cheese grater, or vegetable peeler may be used for this step.  Spread the pieces out to cover more of the wax paper.  Take another shape and place over top of the shaved color.  This will double up the wax paper with a shape on the top and bottom with crayon in between.  Lastly, you use an iron to melt the crayon in between the shapes.  It only takes a few seconds to melt and it worked perfectly.  String up the banner and viola!  So cute.  Another variation is that you can cut the shapes after melting the crayon.
