Crayon and on and on

Sometimes I feel like a drug dealer, but instead of pushing drugs I push crafting. Exhibit A. my co-worker was minding her own business and working (as I should have been), when I interrupt her and show her my Pinterest account.  She immediately gets addicted and I see her pinning late at night.  She of course unlike me got not only inspired but made something so awesome for her son's birthday! She made car crayons out of old crayons around her house.  Here is how she did it.

Supplies include:

Used crayons 

Tin can (her choice of can was a beer can)

Pot of hot water

Candy mold (she bought hers from Michael's)

Instructions:  Take off the wrappers to each crayon and separate them by color.  Cut off the cap of a tin can with a can opener to put the crayons in. She said use a tin can because you can pick it up with your bare hands when the crayon is melted and you can bend it to make a spout.  Put the can in two inches of boiling water.  Pour the melted crayon in the the candy mold and either leave it out to harden or put it in the fridge.  She also said if you found a tin baking mold you can put the crayon pieces right into the mold and pop it in the oven for a few minutes.  Either way works.

Vrrroooooom....

Just in case kids thought they were candy she included a notepad. Hopefully they got the hint. =)

Kid tested... Mother approved! Thank you Sherrie!
