upcycling creon stumps

we all were tired of the little creon stumps, so i took out our little hearts cupcake tin and we got all excited to sort the stumps. it's really fun and we even pealed and broke up some of the not so tiny stumps...

then the tin went into the oven for about 15 minutes at 300F. i had to watch it, as i was not sure how quickly the wax would melt. and i was not intending to have a house full of waxy smoke...

and this is the result a great many very handy creons. i got one of my baggies and the perfect gift for a little friend is ready. i guess sandwich bags are not just for sandwiches...
we could not stop working, it was so much fun. we kept going and before we knew it, we had an other little sack of creons ready!
