Homemade Crayons
by: ECRC
HOW-TO
Gather old, broken crayons. Peel/remove paper. (This can take a while!)
Heat oven to 250°
Find old muffin tins or heat resistant ice cube trays. (We used silicone ice cube trays in fun shapes from the dollar store and Ikea)
Fill each mold with crayon pieces and bake until the crayons melt, about 10 to 15 minutes. (We added more crayons every few minutes due to settling/melting of wax.
