A fun twist mixing colors can make your colored creations more dimensional and unexpected. These crayons are sure to keep your kids coloring for hours! Edit Steps1Gather together a rainbow of crayons. This is a great way to dispose of many broken or almost-finished ones sitting at the bottom of the toy chest.2Heat the oven to 350ºF/ 180ºC.
3Remove the paper from the crayons. Break up all of the crayons into small pieces if they're not already small.
You can also shave them with an old cheese grater for a finer consistency.4Place the pieces into cupcake holders.
5Place the filled cupcake holders on a pan. Put in the oven.
6Remove using oven mitts when the crayons are completely melted. This will take around 2 - 6 minutes, depending on the melted consistency you're after; keep an eye on them.
7Let them cool for approximately 30 minutes. Once cooled, remove from the cupcake holder; they're now ready for reuse.
8Have fun coloring!
Edit TipsSingle colors can also be made from worn out crayons. These take longer to accumulate though.If you don't have enough of each color to do single color ones, try color harmonies like blue-green, red-orange, pink-purple or all warm colors or all cool colors. Making each of them different within a range of colors can allow some gorgeous effects and still make it easier to do green grass and blue sky if that's what you want.Other mold shapes can be used if you have them, such as the star shapes shown in this image.These lovely creations aren't just for children! Many adults have a kid "inside" that needs nurturing. So when you need a quick and refreshing break from all your adult responsibilities, take 5 minutes to draw using these crayons; you can even use them to create a mandala.Edit WarningsAn adult should place and remove the crayons in the oven.Making these can permanently stain metal cupcake tins if the crayons melt directly on the metal, you may want get a secondhand cupcake tin from the thrift store and use it exclusively to make rainbow crayons.Be careful if using a cheese grater or pencil sharpener to shave the crayons.Do not fill the holder too full or the crayon wax will spill in the oven. Make more smaller ones rather than a few larger ones.Edit Things You'll NeedOvenCupcake holdersCrayonsPanOven mittsCheese grater (optional)Edit Related wikiHowsHow to Draw a Purple CrayonHow to Make Crayon CandlesHow to Clean Crayon off Painted WallsHow to Remove Crayon from WallpaperHow to Reuse Broken CrayonsHow to Make Melted Crayon ArtArticle Info Featured Article
