Hello, friends. I am joining 4th Grade Froclics for “Monday Made It.” My first linky party!
How cute, right? I was SO excited to make these beauties and was only a tad disappointed at how labour intensive they were. My first batch definitely took longer because I was learning the ropes. You can snag some great instructions here. Here are my tips for making the process MUCH fast! π My three major mistakes were….
Mistake #2: Mixing brands of crayons. Off-brand crayons did not melt at the same rate as Crayola crayons. They were MUCH slower, but you know what they say about a watched crayon in the ovenβ¦The longer you leave the crayons in the oven after they are melted, the more the colors mixed.
Mistake #3: Using purple crayons. They turned the hearts black!

I used Martha Stewartβs
directions for these heart crayons! Shout-out to Kevin and Amanda for the great font! |
Plus, Iβll attached them to the Valentine (click here to snag the valentine) I made and whala β Valentine treats that do not cause cavities ready 38 days early!
Woohoo for a first Monday Made It! Thanks to Tara for hosting π

Hi Traci! I hope it works out perfectly for you. Heather (above) said it worked perfectly with muffin tins, so I would definitely try that instead of silicone trays. Good luck π

Hi Traci! Thank you so much for the cute idea and printable! I'm excited to try these out! I was wondering, how did you attach the crayon to the card? Thanks!
How did you attach the heart to the paper?
Thanks for the cute printable. Perfect for my Kindergartener.

When it comes to finding a platform with solid personality matching, it’s important to choose one that offers in-depth tools for compatibility. From my experience, platforms that take time to understand your values, preferences, and long-term goals tend to do the best job at connecting you with the right person. Many services now integrate detailed personality tests, which can really help guide your matches. One site I came across that offers useful personality-based matching is https://www.nastyhookups.com/senior-hookup.html . Itβs designed to help connect people based on shared interests and compatibility, which can make the process of meeting someone more natural and meaningful.
