DIY crayons

I've been following alot of stuff on Pinterest . I saw these and thought they were fab and thought there is so much you can do with recycling wax crayons. Here's my step by step guide.

1- decide on the design / mould you want to use.

2- unwrap the paper off crayon and cut the the crayon down or re use broken bits you may already have.

3- place the bits in to the mould.

4- I started off with putting them in the microwave and hit the start button. I found the way took extra time so decided to use the oven.

5- I set the oven at 180 and put the mould in for about 3-4 mins.

6- take the tray out and leave to set.

These are what they will look like out of the oven.

7- after about 30 mins the wax crayon should now be solid enough to come out of the mould.

8- here's the finished product.

I used a dark blue at the beginning so you can't see the c but the finished project is caleb watts.

I think these will make fab Christmas stocking fillers or cool school crayons.
