How to Make Crayon Candles

This project is really fun for anyone who has a passion for being creative and crayons.  If done with younger children, please supervise, hot wax can be dangerous.

Step 1 Materials

¨        Crayons of any brand (I recommend that you use several of the colors that you plan on using

¨        Cooking Tongs

¨        Candle Wicks

¨        2 Small plastic containers (one to melt the wax in, and the other to use in shaping the candle

¨        Water

¨        Cooking Pot (this can be any pot, since the only thing you will be doing with it is boiling water)

when i made a candle out of crayon wax, it smelled when it burned. Try using candle wax or even a babybel cheese wrapper like i did in my instructables

Is there any way of keeping the talc in crayons from clogging the wick?

Well, the talc shouldn't really affect the wick too much, since as the candle wick burns, the crayons will melt.

The talc collects on the wick (or the dye, or something) making a big lump-at least it did every time I tried crayon wax in candles.
