Story of Now

I had read about recycling broken crayons here , and just had to try it.   I took the paper off all the crayons which was the most time consuming part of the process. I coated the mini-muffin tin with vegetable oil and sorted the crayons. I sorted some in color schemes, like yellows and oranges, pinks and purples, greens and blues. And then I added a few different schemes like red and green for Christmas and pink and silver cuz that's just pretty! ( I forgot to take a picture of the crayons layered in their spots before baking...forgive me I had a toddler hugging my leg =)) Here are the crayons after baking for about 7 minutes at 275 degrees. Aren't they just so pretty.    I imagine if they were soap how yummy they'd smell or if they were candy how delicious they'd taste.  But they are crayons and I imagine they will color some gorgeous pictures!   Shine on!
