Teacher Crayon Monogram {tutorial}

I just dropped my little Kindergartner off to school for the last time as a half day student.  Next year he will be an all grown up 1st grader.  All day school...bittersweet.  I have really enjoyed Lil' E's Kindergarten teacher this year, as did he.  She had one of the largest Kindergarten classes I have even seen.  There were 21 children.  That's quite a lot to me.  The others had around 14ish.  We thought about moving Lil' E to the afternoon class when I found out the class size, but I am so glad that I didn't.  We will miss Mrs. Robbins.  I am hoping that if she ever moves into the higher grades to teach that Lil' E will get placed in her class.
Thank you Mrs. Robbins.

To Make your own crayon monogram you will need:
crayons ( I think new ones look best...I also like the classic colors)
scrap paper
scrapbook paper
hot glue
a sharp knife
lighter
shadow box

Print your letter out on a scrap piece of paper.
Arrange crayons over letter.
Cut crayons individually to length using a sharp knife and cutting board.*
Glue crayon pieces together using a glue gun.
Then glue the crayon letter to a nice piece of stiff paper.
Frame.

* DIY tip: A lighter comes in handy when doing this project.  Use it to heat your knife blade up to make cutting alot easier.

Thanks to Chic & Cheap Nursery for the original idea.
