As Seen On Pinterest ... Homemade Crayons

I live with three tiny artists who not only love to color, but also break their coloring utensils into crumbley bits. Broken crayons are my arch nemesis. What to do with all of those unusable crayon crumbs?

Hi, Pinterest. How you doing today? Oh, crafting? Yes, please. Thanks ever so much!



Step 1:  Peel the wrapper off of dead crayon.  Chop larger pieces into tiny pieces. 

Step 2:  Place broken crayons into muffin pan ... I used the tiny muffin pans and coordinate my colors together:  all reds/pinks together, all shades of blue together, etc.

Step 3:  Bake @ 275 for 10 mins.  Let cool completely before popping them out of the tin. 

Step 4:  Color away!  Rainbows unite!!! 



Happy Pinning!  :)
