Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 200°F (93°C) if you plan to use that method for melting the crayons. If using a microwave, set it to medium power.
- Carefully remove the wrappers from your broken crayons, revealing the colorful wax beneath.
- Chop or break the crayons into smaller pieces, mixing different colors to create a stunning palette for your flowers.
- Place the crayon pieces into the silicone molds, filling each flower shape evenly.
- Slide the molds onto a baking sheet for stability and pop them in the oven for about 10-15 minutes, or until melted.
- Once melted, allow the molds to cool slightly before moving them.
- After a few minutes, gently remove the cooled melted crayon flowers from the molds.
- Allow them to cool completely before displaying or using them.
