I know I'm 23, but I freaking love coloring. I swear, I find it theraputic. There is nothing like opening up a brand new box of crayons. What is it about broken crayons that make them so unattractive? Why do we never want to use the broken, unwrapped ones? What do you do with all those "rejects"? YOU GIVE THEM A SECOND CHANCE AT LIFE, THAT'S WHAT!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, so I'm being a little dramatic, but I found this pin on Pinterest and thought I would give it a go. Here is the link:
Let's get started!
Start off with a bunch of your crayon rejects, unwrapped please!
Next, grab a cupcake foil. I also used a rubber cupcake mold to keep it in place, you don't have to use it.
Now, fill up the cupcake tin with whatever assortment of colors that your little heart desires.
Set your oven at 350 degrees, once it has reached that temperature, turn it off. Then, place your colors in the oven for 10-15 minutes. They will melt in there for that time. Once they are done, they will have turn into pure liquid. Grab the cupcake tin and place it in the freezer for about an hour.
After an hour, you can take out your new color. It should look like this once it's done!
Even though I do think that this multi-color crayon is fun, you would probably get more use out of melting the same color of crayons to create a new crayon, but you know, whatever floats your boat.
