In reply to Bryony. baking paper is not made out of wax so the crayon will not stick.

We do not have any children, but I’m quite an artist myself and your crafting idea sounds like a whole lot of fun for a friend and I to do to decorate our houses up for Valentine’s Day. I used to have so much fun with wax paper and shaved crayons when I was a kid. What an awesome idea, thank you and God bless you.

Lots Of Love All Around,

I think the baking paper everyone mentions is parchment paper, which is closer to freezer paper than wax paper. It’s designed to be non stick, so it makes sense that creations aren’t working. The bonus of this is that wax paper is cheaper then parchment paper, and you can usually find it at the dollar store.

Grating crayons is tedious work and they become very static and messy. I put different colors in quart size zipock bags leaving a tiny corner open for air so bag does not pop. Take outside on the sidewalk or other flat surface and let the kids smash the crayons with a rubber mallet. Make sure you use rubber so you do not tear the bag. Keeping like colors together allows them to still decorate as they wish and you get different sizes and shapes. They are also already contained in their own sealed baggie for future use and storage. If kids are too young for the mallet they can watch. It’s always fun seeing the crayons smashed to bits and they start getting very excited about their craft.

In reply to Jill Taylor. Hi Jill~ No force field is being used! ;) You can use some clear scotch tape rolled up or tiny bits of removable poster putty.
