How to Make Crayons
Learn how to make crayons using recycled crayons and molds.
Equipment
- 1 oven
Ingredients
- old crayons peeled and broken into small pieces
- 1 silicone heart mold or muffin tins
- baking sheet
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Place your peeled crayons in a silicone mold on a baking sheet.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until you can see the crayons have melted completely.
- Allow crayons to cool completely in molds before removing them.
Notes
- I was told that soaking the crayons made them much faster to peel, so I tested this method for you. It worked very well for Crayola brand crayons.
- Other brands had too much sticky residue, and I found peeling them dry to be much easier. My advice is to test one crayon before soaking a whole box of them.
