Color Crayons

I had seen a few posts on turning your old broken color crayons into new ones. Thought it would be fun for the kids. I was wrong.

I didn’t thing about how I was going to get the melted crayon’s out of the tin and into the mold. I didn’t pay attention that the mold I had was for ice and not heat. I’m a dork. So I took an old medicine dropper and transferred it that way to the mold. It didn’t work very well as you can see it splattered a lot.

This was the second attempt in mini muffin cups. I put the color crayons into the fridge to harden faster. This is a very time consuming project from peeling off crayon paper to waiting for the wax to harden. The color crayons are fun and pretty to look at and if I had the silicon molds to make them in it may have been funner for us.
