Crayola Queen

My neighbor once refered to me as the "craft lady" and I just had to laugh because to me by 'Mormon standards' I'm a craft dunce. Thankfully for me I'm surrounded by a pluthera of wonderful people thinking up fun ideas for me to take all the credit for!!

So Thanks to my cousin Niki, Here's another fun idea!

Do You Have a giant box of old beat up crayons? What mom doesn't!?!?! Why not make them new again?

Here's how:




1st peal off wrappers (I used a knife to put a slit up one side) and break into smaller peices, place in muffin tin or baking molds.



Place in oven #300 degrees for 7-10 minutes (tops will look like a one color liquid), Pull them out gently, Let them cool, (I popped mine in the freezer for 5 minutes ) Dump them out on the table... and VIOLA!Now it's time to color away!! (Please note: your house may smell for a few hours like crayon!) Light a candle or plug in your glade!

You gotta love Abby and her famous overly excited smile!
