Tutorial: I'll Stop the World and Melt With You
 <  Image 1 of 2  > 

Anyone who owns crayons has at least a few broken bits laying around. Don't toss 'em, melt 'em! It's really fun and easy to turn ugly lumps of wax into beautiful, smooth, swirly heart shaped crayons! They're fun to give as gifts, especially around Valentine's day!

I sorted mine into color-themes: blue and green, pink and red, orange and yellow but you could *yawn!* make solid colors instead or get really wild and just mix colors together randomly. Be sure to take them from the oven gently or the colors will all mix together.

These are really cool!
Just a question, is the heart tray a plastic one, like one used for ice-cubes?

Hi Glowie: No, this is a baking pan. I was going to buy the ice cube one but it was sold out. This one is a bit deeper. I don't recall if the ice cube one said it could be baked too...but it seems like it should be fine--I think they are both silicone.

wow thats so cool! Once my bff and me were looking for her crayon carier and when we found it it ontop of her heater and all of her good crayons melted!! (Blame the housekeeper!)so we decided to scrape all of the melted crayon bits out and but most of them into a yogurt tube thing and put on the heater again so it would melt and turn into a multi colored crayon!!!! But i'm not sure if that ever worked 'cause i don't think she put it on or told but oh well it was fun!!!!! :D

This might be a dumb question, but can you still use the pan for baking afterwards? im just scared the ink might stay or something X3 but great idea, i love it!
