Homemade Crayons




1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees for 10-15 minutes.
2. Place all your crayons in the sink with enough water to cover the crayons. Let sit for 4-5 minutes. The wrappers will come right off if soaked. Before I decided to soak my crayons it took 5 pain-staking minutes to peel one crayon and I bent a nail back in the process!: S (So, lessoned learned..soak crayons)
3. Break crayons into pieces and then place into desired mold.
4. Place mold in the oven for 10 minutes. Keep an eye on it. I did mine until they were JUST melted and then swirled around the wax with a toothpick.
5. Remove from oven and cool for 2 minutes and then place in the fridge to set.
6. Once wax has hardened, pop the crayons out of the mold and...TA DA!
