Crayon Candles



What you'll need:
- Crayons
- Candle wax
- Candle wicks or taper candle
- Milk carton
- Ice
- Saucepan (not your mom's good saucepan, mind you)

Instructions:
- Cut the top off of the milk carton so that you have a box - depth is up to you
- The candle can be made totally out of crayons, or you can just add a few for colour
- Melt the wax over medium heat (you can use plastic bags from your local craft store too - these let you put the crayons or the wax into the bag, then into boiling water to melt - saves a lot of clean-up)
- Place the wick or the taper candle into the milk carton.
- If you are using a wick, make sure it goes all the way to the bottom of the carton. Try to keep it centered.
- Fill the carton with ice to hold the wick or taper candle in place. Make sure that the ice is fairly well crushed (it holds better.)
- Pour the melted crayon/wax into the carton. Fill to the top.
- Let it sit until it's hard, then peel the carton away from the candle. Handle your finished candle carefully - it's delicate!
