So yesterday, as I was visiting some links I found on THE TRENDY TREEHOUSE's Creative Share Wednesdays, I stumbled across a tutorial off of Stephanie's Scrapping Station titled YOU COLOR MY WORLD {you should check Stephanie's blog out}.
Anyways, as I was reading it {and admiring how simple it is} I thought I'd give it a TRY and see what happens...
Materials
Crayons (peeled, broken up, and separated by color)
Rubber Baking Mold(s) {I used hearts, b/c that is the only rubber mold I had in the house}
Toothpicks
Peeler {like the ones you use to peel carrots}
Oven
Step 1
Peel crayons, break up, separate by colors, and into rubber molds.
Set oven to 325.
Place rubber mold on a cookie sheet.
Put in oven for 10 minutes.
Step 2
{for swirl crayons, if no- bake until melted and go to step 3}
Remove from oven.
Add a second color to the molds.
Use a toothpick to swirl.
Use a peeler to give a speckled look.
Bake until melted.
Step 3
Remove from oven.
Place in refrigerator {be very careful, it is hot and mold is wobbly}.
When cooled the crayons easily remove from the rubber mold {that's why I like them so much}.
All done!
Lil man LOVES these!
Plus, we have a few BIRTHDAY parties to go to this month... I may make small side GIFTS to go with the toys we bought the boys {though I need to get a different shaped mold- lol}.

I keep meaning to make these but I never have old crayons kicking around because I'm constantly throwing them out. LOL And the molds are so cheap at Target but I keep putting off buying them. Love how your blog is coming along. :) xoxo And very excited to have a CP join me in this creative adventure. :)
ReplyDeleteHey there girlie! :) I just stumbled upon this idea yesterday and since I have the heart mold I though I'd try it. I need to get more- probably at the kitchen store at the mall b/c Target is an hour away. :(
ReplyDeleteI am soooo happy about how its progressing and that I am here with another CP too!! (now, to get those other creative CPs to venture out) =D xoxo
Way to go, and you added your own little spin to it.
ReplyDeleteThank you Stephanie. You had such a cute idea I just had to try it out! :D
ReplyDeleteThese are adorable! I know when I was a kid I would have loved these! Very fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks Lisa! They were fun to make. I am thinking about getting a mold that will go with my lil man's b-day theme. :)
ReplyDeleteLOVE crayons! =) I would have loved these as a kid.. but I think i'd enjoy them now too! =)
