Here’s a fun and exciting way to recycle some broken crayons and turn them into a pretty homemade candle! Those broken crayons are no longer going to waste with this creative DIY trick by Art IDEA on YouTube. Try this inexpensive and handy craft idea now.
Materials:
- Wax crayons, different colors
- Candle wax
- Glass candle holder
- Candlewick
- Warm water
- Cutter
Directions:
Step 1
Using a cutter, scrape some candle wax and crayon into a small glass with a 1:1 ratio, then grab a candlewick (you can use from old or broken candles), and position it at the center of the glass candle holder. Place the small glass of scraped wax on top of a larger glass filled with warm water at a 100°C temperature, then let it melt, and then stir it around until uniform. After mixing the wax, tilt the candle holder before pouring the melted wax, and then let it sit in a tilted position for about 10 minutes or until it hardens.

Step 2
While waiting for the wax to solidify, mix another color of wax following the same procedure you did with the first one. Then, tilt the candle holder to the opposite side, and pour the new color of wax, let it sit for 10 minutes to harden. Mix the 3rd and final wax color, then position the candle holder right side up, and pour the last wax color directly on top until completely covered and flat. Let it sit for 10 minutes or more until it becomes solid, you can make other color combinations and use it as you normally would.
