How Can I Reduce, Reuse and Recycle - Idea 1

Here is an easy way to recycle old crayons.

1) First you collect any old crayons and snap or cut them into small pieces.

2) Place the pieces in random colour combinations (or you could use same colour combination if you wish) in a silicone mould tray.




3) Place them in an oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 5 - 10 mins until the wax has melted.



4) Carefully take the mould out and pierce any air bubbles with a cocktail stick.  Try not to mix the colours too much here.

5)  Leave them to harden for 30 minutes.

6) When hard, pop them out of the moulds and you have new colourful crayons.
