Step 1: Gather Crayons & Peel Wrappers
For starters, you do not need to buy new crayons, any crayons that you have at home will do. Just gather all your crayons and start peeling the wrappers. You can use a blend of different colors, or pick and choose your favorites – it’s up to you.
Step 2: Break Crayons
Break the crayons into smaller pieces.
Step 3: Fill the molds
Fill every heart in the silicone mold with broken crayons. The amount of crayons that you need per mold will vary based on the size of the mold, as well as the thickness of the crayon you desire.
Singapore Super Shopping Tip: You can purchase different shaped silicone molds from Spotlight, Mold Mart, Phoon Huat or Amazon.
Step 4: Into The Oven!
Bake it in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 250 Fº (120 Cº) until crayons are entirely melted.
