Whether you do this project with a brand new box of crayons or you use up the broken bits from the bottom of your art supply collection, a broken crayon monogram makes a cute piece of wall art. Using a simple tutorial by Lisa at Rainy Tuesday Mornings, you can make a fabulous framed initial that makes a great teacher gift or a decoration for a child's bedroom. You can use a full spectrum of colors for a playful look, or get a more refined effect by selecting crayons in specific shades. [how to make broken crayon monograms]

Project estimate:

Picture frame, $1 and up
Paper, on hand
Crayons, on hand or $1
Glue, on hand

Total: $1 and up

NOTE: We are not able to provide custom templates. You should be able to create them in your word processing program.

We love this project and did this for a friends baby shower. It was so simple, yet it stole the show as one of the cutest gifts. We picked up the shadow box frame from a local craft store and used different shades of red and pink crayons for the letter, to match the bedding for the baby’s room.
