Melted Crayon Art
Ingredients:
– Crayons
– Silicone molds
– Paper cups
Directions:
1. Preheat your oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Peel the wrappers off the crayons and chop them into tiny pieces. Make sure to separate them by color if you want to create specific shades or designs.
3. Fill the silicone molds with a variety of crayon pieces. You can mix different colors together or pour them in layers for a striped effect.
4. Place the filled molds onto a baking sheet to catch any spills.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for 7-8 minutes, or until the crayons are fully melted.
6. Carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Allow the melted crayons to cool for a few minutes, then transfer the molds to the refrigerator or freezer to harden completely.
7. Once the crayons are solid, gently remove them from the molds. This can usually be done by pressing from the bottom of the mold.
8. For the microwave method: Peel and break the crayons into smaller bits by color and place them in paper cups.
9. Heat the cups in the microwave on high for 4-5 minutes, checking every minute to ensure they are melting evenly.
10. Once melted, carefully pour the crayon mixture into silicone molds and freeze for about 30 minutes to solidify.
Tips & Variations:
– Experiment with blending colors by mixing crayon pieces together to create your own unique shades.
– Use different shaped silicone molds to create fun and interesting crayon designs, such as hearts, stars, or animals.
