Crayon Tutorial

I love crayons, even as an adult they are one of my favorite things to draw with. I love the way they look melted and in art school I used to melt them a lot, it was pre-pinterest and the whole look is kind of done now but I regress,  They can be hard for little fingers and so I've created this tutorial for how to take regular crayons and make toddler sized crayons using old crayons.

I got a lot of old crayons at the thrift store for a dollar a huge bag of crayons. There is nothing like getting new crayons. I loved getting brand new perfect crayons as a kid. I loved the beginning of school getting new box of perfect crayons, I almost didn't even want to use them to ruin the perfection of them



 A lot of broken crayons, and broken pieces.

I  peeled them all and broke them into little pieces

 At the thrift shop I got a muffin tin for 49 cents and separated them into colors, you can mix different colors or do each in a different color

I put them into the oven at 200 degrees until the crayons melt a few min depending on the color and how deep the pan is/ how may crayon pieces are in each cup.

Pull them out of the oven and let them cool. When they have cooled. Put the muffin pan in the freezer for five minutes. The crayons will pop out of the muffin tin.

This is what they look like when they done. perfect for younger kids to get their hands on or they make a great gift.
