I’ve done this before & I added glitter to the muffin tins. It made glitter chunky crayons!!! Blessings, laura

Just tried this at home…
DO NOT melt the crayons in the microwave! I almost broke my microwave doing this. It overheated and burned the dixie cups I was using. If you don’t want to put crayons in your brand new muffin tin, try putting foil muffin cups on a cookie sheet and melting them in there. Then use those to pour into the candy molds. I tried this and it worked very well.

My older daughter did this with her old crayons and is giving them to my younger daughter for Christmas.

I just bought two silicone molds at Target (they were in the bins at the front-$2.50 each). They had one with snowmen and one with Christmas trees. I am going to make some for my kindergarten classroom (lots of used crayons there!) and if they turn out well I am going to give them as gifts to the class for Christmas.

Tried dipping them, candle style? Seems like it would work, maybe using wire instead of string so you could pull it out of the wax when you’re done.

I loved this idea! I made some as gifts for my daughter’s friends and they were a big hit. And all I did was recycle her unused crayons! Well done. Keep posting.
