Its National Crayon Day!
I am celebrating by reusing some old school crayons to make new items. This time I am melting some crayons to make new ones.
Take the paper wrapper of and break up to fit these cute silicon molds. Place them on a parchment covered baking sheet and bake till melted
The basic ingredients contained in Crayola crayons are paraffin wax and color pigment. These ingredients are the same for all Crayola crayon colors, with some modifications in special effects crayons.
Crayola crayons begin to melt at around 105° Fahrenheit and have a melting point between 120° - 147° Fahrenheit. The melting point is the same for all regular Crayola crayons; however, the density and amount of pigment included in different crayons will result in varying thickness or viscosity of the mixture.
