Crazy Crayons!

So for one of Harley's Christmas gifts, I wanted to make her a fun present that also was super inexpensive. I decided I was going to make her: "crazy crayons"... pretty much just like what it sounds... crazy looking crayons. I thought she would enjoy them :) For this project, I went out and bought a new crayon pack (although you can get thrifty and melt all of your little crayon nubs lying around for this project.)

I had this silicone baking mold lying around...but from what I remember it was only $2 on Amazon

Then, I got out my 64 box of crayons...

First, you need to peel off the paper wrappers off of your crayons
Next, you need to break up your crayons into little pieces
Then, I put each of the crayon pieces into the silicone molds


Finally, I baked them in a 200 degree oven for about 15 minutes (or until they all melted into one)

Once I took them out of the oven, I let them cool and then I popped them out of their molds!
There we go! Crazy Crayons! Have fun making your own crazy crayons. They're pretty cute, and I think kids would prefer using these than a tiny, used up crayon!
