Step 1 of 12

gather supplies. old crayons (used to be a school teacher). foil. something to use as a mold. i bake cakes, so i chose to use an old cupcake pan i had.

Step 2 of 12

to get the mold, use the opposite side

Step 3 of 12

place the foil over your mold

Step 4 of 12

this is how the mold will look or something similar to this.

Step 5 of 12

place the old crayons inside. i chose to use the same colors in each cup; but you can mix them, be as #creative as you want.

Step 6 of 12

preheat oven to 250 degrees. you can do this before, but it doesn't take long to get to 250 degrees in most ovens. make sure to take any coverings off of the crayons before you try to melt them.

Step 7 of 12

and wait...

Step 8 of 12

and wait some more. try not to be too anxious little ones. it takes about 15 minutes for all the crayons to melt.

Step 9 of 12

once done. pull out crayons and let sit for approximately 5 minutes.

Step 10 of 12

this is a closer look at what they should look like melted.

Step 11 of 12

once cooled, pull them out of the mold and get ready for arts and crafts time.

Step 12 of 12

@Maxine Sparrow✌ you could; but my son liked the extra texture that these crayons provide.

Wouldn't it just be easier to use the cupcake pan itself? It would be much smoother and neater

we started as a craft shop (creating cards and other stuff) and transitioned into the bakery. i still love doing the other stuff; but just not for money. snap guide will allow me to share this passion of mine.
