Camillia of the blog Family Chic sent in a great post about spray painting old candle sticks black that’s a super idea. But I thought I would read on at her blog and I suggest you do too. Read about this fun egg carton Mummenschanz project. And check out how to make new crayons with the heat of your car! With it over a hundred degrees here right now I can totally do this project. I had heard of heat setting the color when dyeing yarn using the trunk of your car but making crayons? WOW!
