Materials needed:
metal cupcake tin (I used a mini one)
old broken crayons
optional metal fine flake glitter
oven set to 300 degrees
If you are like me you have a whole mess of broken crayons around your house!
First peel off all of the paper wrappers.
Then break them in to small pieces and place in the tins. I fill mine about 3/4 of the way full.
We added a shake of metal fine flake glitter to ours!
Place in the oven set a 3oo degrees. It is important that you do not leave them in too long just until the wax is all melted this takes just a few minutes, my mini tins were done in about 5 minutes. DO NOT LEAVE UNATTENDED IF THEY GET TOO HOT THEY COULD CATCH ON FIRE!!!!!
Let cool 5-10 minutes. Then I place mine in the freezer for 10 minutes and they pop right out!
the color combinations are endless................
let the fun begin!!
Have a Happy Weekend! Meg
These are cute!:) Ive never seen them done in this manner before...I LOVE it! What a great craft for a rainy day. And how cute would a few of these be with a coloring book as party favors for a bday party for little ones? Thanks for sharing!
