Let’s learn how to make crayons!

It’s very simple and I love that I can use broken crayons I have around the house.

You will need to get an oven safe mermaid silicone mold to make the mermaid crayons. They are on sale right now so it’s a good time to grab a mold!

Materials needed for Mermaid crayons:

• Crayola crayons (or use broken crayons you already have at home)
• Oven safe mermaid silicone mold
• Extra fine glitter
• Cookie sheet– (if you are worried about the crayons spilling, grab a cheap cookie sheet at the dollar store!)
• Oven Mitt

How to make crayons shaped like mermaid tails:

1. Peel the crayon wrapper off and preheat your oven to 250 degrees.

2. Sprinkle a little glitter into your molds.

3. Break the crayons in several pieces and place into the mermaid tails a few of the same colored crayons at a time so it will have an ombré look.

4. Place your silicone molds onto a baking sheet and place in a preheated 250° oven for 8 to 10 minutes, checking halfway through to see if they’ve fully melted.

5. Carefully remove the pan with an oven mitt, place on the stove until cool and then transfer to the freezer for about 15 minutes.
6. Carefully stretch out the sides of the mold and pop your crayons out.

Mermaid Tails Crayons are so simple to make! 

The results are stunning! The glitter really adds to the ombre effect. I just love these adorable crayons.

Tip for making Mermaid tails crayons:

If you are concerned about using your good cookie sheets and the crayons spilling, you can get an inexpensive pan at the dollar store. I actually have several dollar store cookie sheets that I keep with my craft supplies.

They are so handy! I don’t worry about the kids getting craft supplies on them and love knowing it was just a $1!
