Step Two

Choose your crayon colors. These will be used to make the wax for your candle, and this is where you may get creative. Blend and swirl your colors. Create spirals or use a gradient palette. The decision is yours!

Make sure to smash your crayons for easy melted. While not absolutely necessary, it does speed up the melting process.

Step three

Carefully melt the crayons until they are entirely liquid. I recommend dissolving every color by itself before proceeding. If you have a lot of soup cans, replace them to maintain your colors consistent.

Step five

Repeat with the remainder of your colors. Make sure to melt and pour one at a time. Otherwise, the wax will dry while you wait.
