Making Crayons I
- Broken crayon pieces
- Muffin tin
- candy mold or cupcake pan
Place crayon pieces into muffin tin, candy mold or cupcake pan. Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Leave in the oven long enough to melt. Turn off the oven and leave in the oven or take out very carefully so as not to mix colors if you are making multi-colored crayons. Wax will be very hot.
Making Crayons II
- Broken crayon pieces
- Mason jars
- Muffin tin
- candy mold or cupcake pan
Using a Mason jar, melt the crayon pieces in a large pot of boiling water. Then pour them into the molds and let them cool. They just pop out.
Tip: Keep your colors together (i.e. browns w/brown, purples w/purples, etc.)
