crayon molds, we recommend using a pot that you don't mind tossing at the end as it can
get a little messy. Depending on the size of your mold, melt between 7-20 crayons. This
part takes some experimenting. Also crayons will act like paint and colors will mix
together- so unless you want brown, make sure to seperate the reds from the greens!
6. After crayons are melted, pour the heated crayon wax into the mold. This is where the
baking mitts come in. Always use caution and common sense when handling hot objects.
Don't have a mold? Don't worry, you can make your own- be creative! Tin foil or a
cupcake container can work just as well as a store bought mold.
7. Let the crayon wax cool. The wax will instantly start to cool and shrink a little. If
necessary, refill the mold and let it cool again. The mold will take around 5 minutes to
cool, however you can pop them in the fridge or freezer for a quicker time.
8. When cooled, release crayon from mold and start coloring. That's all! Experiment with
techniques and create custom colors, crayons with swirls, or layers of multi-colored
crayon bars. This is just a general guide; have fun with it!
