Recycling Broken Crayons
Ever wonder what exactly to do with all of those broken crayon pieces scattered around your house? Most of the time I just pick them up and throw them out because I am so tired of stepping on them everyday. Toodie has tons of crayons but within a week they end up mutilated and destroyed. I even find them in her clothing hamper! I can’t even say how many times I have washed crayons with her laundry. After searching for crafts on Pinterest I found a new use for those crayons pieces without a home. Instead of tossing them RECYCLE! You can make your own chunky crayons at home.
Make sure to peel off all of the paper from the crayons. Collect all of the broken pieces and keep them in a jar or tupperwear container until you have enough of each color. If you want to make giant rainbow crayons, you can just throw all of the colors in together. Don’t worry about sorting. For the molds you can use disposable baking pans or rubber silicone shape molds. Once you have enough pieces you can begin with the five easy steps below.
1- Turn on your oven to 300 degrees
2- Spray the inside of the mold lightly with cooking spray to allow the crayons to be removed easily. (optional)
3- Fill the molds with the broken crayon pieces. Here is where you can sort like colors together or mix them together for the rainbow effect. Experiment and have fun.
4- Place into the oven and wait until all of the crayons are visibly melted. It only takes about 10 minutes.
5- Remove and allow to cool before popping them out of the tray.
Surprise.. I won a Liebster Blog Award!
This afternoon I received a nice surprise tweet from my new blog friend Yoli at Yoli Dreams. She nominated me along with four other new bloggers for the Liebster Award. Thank you so much Yoli! You have no idea how much this means to me and how much i appreciate the support. Please check out her blog because she is a new blogger just like me and she has some interesting posts.
If you are not familiar with the Liebster Award it is given to fairly new blogs with 200 or less followers. This is a way of giving recognition to bloggers for a job well done. It brings undiscovered blogs to the light and helps them gain exposure to attract more followers. If you receive a Liebster the person giving it to you i basically saying, “Hey YOU ROCK!”
Being nominated for a Liebster comes with a few guidelines…
