How-to recycle those crayon stubs into a swell homemade gift

Step 10 Pop those babies out

Remove the fresh and shiny fun-shaped crayons from the candy mold carefully by twisting the edges of the candy mold back and forth. The new crayons should pop right out.

Turn the crayons face up and prepare to be amazed at how sweet the new crayons actually look.

Those are so cute it makes me want to break all my kids crayons so I can try this!

I still have an empty advent-calendar. (you know: a flat cardboard box with a plastic inside, where chocolates go). May be I can use the plastic insite as a mould for making swell new crayons! Thanks for the idea. I love it!

i like this idea!! here's a thought: ikea sells those funky-cute rubbery ice cube trays (hearts, stars...)that might work for a chunkier crayon. i used to take our crayon stubs and sharpen them to collect the shavings that i would sprinkle in between 2 pieces of waxed paper and use a low iron to melt the shavings into 'stained glass'. cut out into different shapes and hung in the window, it makes a cool, recycled craft that my kids enjoy! thanks for the new great idea!!

I love this and always wondered if there was something to do with all those extra crayon stubs. What I love more than the fact that you did it and I just have to follow, is the way you tell it. MR SUN! vs microwave. I want more...
