Supplies
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat Oven to 250 degrees F.
Step 2: Use an exacto knife to cut a line down the crayon paper and then peel away.
Step 3: Break crayons into small pieces and put together by color groups or familiar colors.
Step 4: Place silicone mold onto a cookie sheet and bake for approximately 13-15 mins. Keep a close watch so that you can remove right when the colors melt thoroughly.
Step 5: Remove from oven and let cool completely. Once fully cooled, pop crayons out of mold.
Tips
- I like to add a few small pieces of white crayon into some of the molds because it helps to break up the colors beautifully. But honestly, these are pretty fail proof!
- You can add a few drops of lavender or lemon essential oil once cooled down slightly into each heart mold for added fragrance.

I whipped these up on Canva. I will add the printable here if you are interested in using. I used a gold sparkly washi tape I also had on hand to attach the crayons to the cards.
I just love how these turned out!
If you make some, I would love to see them! Share below in the comments.
