I've started making my gifts for Christmas and one of my projects is a fun stocking stuffer. We are always in need of new crayons in this house. Why not turn ordinary crayons in to fun holiday shapes! What you need is 6 box's of 8 count crayons. Silicone molds and an oven set to 350 degrees.
Start by peeling the paper off the crayons. I used a exacto knife to cut a line strait down the paper to make the peeling easier and faster.
I was able to find help at a cheap price, candy!
Fill the molds with about three crayons each.
Put in a pre-heated oven at 350 degrees for about 6-8 min. Just keep checking on them to see if they have melted all the way.
let them sit and cool for about an hour until they are completely cold. If you try to remove them while the slightest bit warm they will break and you will have to re-heat.
Finished and bundled up with a bow for their stockings!
Where do you locate the molds? I've seen this before.
ReplyDeleteWalmart has them right now for a dollar for Easter they are real cute
DeleteI found the molds at Target in the dollar section for $2.50 each. With every season you can find new ones.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for emailing me this link- I am featuring it tomorrow!

Hey Allison, to clean mine I poured boiling water in them and then scrubbed with soap and water.

Can I use a non silicone mold? I have a dark metal one. Would it stick do you think?
ReplyDeleteA metal baking pan did work! Used some non stick spray and put them in the oven for about 5 min at 275* Awesome craft, kids loved it!
ReplyDeleteLove this but mine sunk in the middle. Any ideas why? X
ReplyDeleteI didn't use crayola crayons, cheaper one's could this be why? X
