Two outta Three Ain't Bad...

Earlier this week I posted three projects that I had planned on finishing this week before the weekend.  Well, Wednesday is here and I have two already finished!  The first thing I finished was my very first knitting project which I was extremely excited about!
And, I have already started to work on my second dishcloth and have it almost half way done!
Now, the second project I wanted to finish was melting all of our broken crayons.  I finally finished these with the help of my 4 yr. old Isabelle (her favorite thing is to take the paper off the crayons).
This was a super easy project, all you do is take off all the paper on your crayons (Crayola works best), and I used some old mini muffin tins that I had but you really can use anything.  I have seen them where people have taken silicon molds in different shapes and wrapped them up with a new coloring book as a gift for a child.
Set your oven to 350 degrees and fill your tins with the broken pieces of crayons.  Stick them in the oven and keeping an eye on them, when they are all melted move them immediately from the oven to the freezer.  And... POOF!!  You have brand new crayons!
