1. fold a piece of waxed paper in two
2. draw a half butterfly with the body at the fold
3. open the waxed paper and put it on a paper towel on the table
4. sprinkle (prepared) crayon shavings onto the waxed paper in the butterfly shape
5. cover the waxed paper with another piece of waxed paper
6. have an adult iron the twp pieces of waxed paper together on low heat (protect the iron by putting a paper towel on top of the waxed paper while ironing).
7. allow to cool
8. using scissors, cut out the butterfly
9. punch a hole in the head of the butterfly
10. thread a piece of string through the hole to make a loop
11. tie and hang in a window

you can do this with any shape- melted wax is a great new way to look at crayons and to recycle broken ones.
