Repurpose Your Unloved, Broken Crayons

This project is great for reusing old crayons that you might have lying around or forgotten. With just three things you can make a vast amount of doohickeys. This project is great for young kids or if your into sculpting.

Materials:

1. Silicon Mold (this can be made or bought)
2. a Carving knife
3. and Crayons

Unpeel the wrapper from the crayon.

First preheat the oven to 200 degrees (fahrenheit).

When the timer is done add the crayons into the silicon mold.

Then put it inside the oven.

You should stop the oven heat when the crayons are fully melted.

Then you have to leave it to cool, I just left it inside the oven overnight and in the morning it was cool

Another way to cool the crayons is to put it in the fridge. *CAUTION THE MOLD WILL BE HOT*

Take out the crayon brick by "popping" it out of the mold

Then cut the "brick" in half. I did this with a crowbar but, a easier way to do it is to cut it when it is still hot in the inside.

The final step is to make the crayon brick into a crayon shape.

This can be done by using a X-Acto or a box cutting knife.

You can carve it in to any shape you want as I only made it to a crayon.

You could make it into a car, plane, pencil, mini house, a hippo, or even a picture of yourself.

The possibilities are endless.
