I was almost on the point of turfing out the broken and deformed bits of crayon at the bottom of the little lady’s pencil tin.
I say tin, but ’skip’ would be a far better description judging by the amount of pens and pencils with Disney Princess labels I find scattered around the house. Those little nubby ends of crayon that fill up the pencil tin or, more likely, get wedged into the base of a lego block...well, they annoy me.
Anyway, I remembered seeing on another blog {forget where} an idea for melting down a collection of broken crayons in a cupcake case and making them into new, multi coloured novelty crayons...clever.
I used some star shaped silicone moulds and melted them in a low oven {about 140 ºC}for about 10 minutes until all melted.
I’m wondering if this technique would work for scraggy soap ends?? Because they annoy me too. Hhhmmmm...
