I know that Pinterest is flooded with tutorials for homemade crayons.

But I thought to myself…what’s one more!?!

Today we finally re-purposed the old broken crayons and put them to good use.

And here’s how we did it…

Step 1: Peel the paper off of your broken crayons.

    How about with dye plants we grow ourselves and beeswax?

  2. Jenny says

    I love this idea for old crayon bits. No sense in just tossing them out. Thanks!

  3. Rachel says

    I use broken crayons as a non-toxic coloring in CP soap. It works really well!

  4. Wendy says

    I’ve read somewhere online that if you soak the crayons in water the papers come right off. Haven’t tried it but worth a try.

  5. Miser Mom says

    Those little plastic jello molds can go in the oven at low temperatures — 200 degrees. So I’ve used those to make crayons in the shape of little cars. Very popular among the boy set, even those who would normally think of coloring as sissy.
