  Step 1

  Take crayons and peel off all the paper.

• 

  Step 2

  Now break up crayons into little bits.

  Depending on how large you want the chunks to be you can do this differently:
  For large chunks: just break with fingers
  For smaller chunks: use knife to make grooves in crayon at desired length, then snap with fingers.

  Spray tin and put in pieces.

• Step 3

  Bake at 275°F for about 8 minutes.

  You will want to check how quickly they melt: if you have large tins (like me) they will go for about 11 minutes, and smaller for less.

  When you take them out you can swirl with a utensil if that's the look you want.

• Step 4

  Cool for a while! : D

• 

  Step 5

  Tie around the hearts with elastic and slide in a valentines message, FINISHED!

would this work with a cookie cutter instead of a baking pan?

Is it okay to use the microwave instead of the oven? Or any alternative ways cos' I don't think I'm allowed to use the oven... (:

Anna G: Good question! I'm pretty sure you could keep recycling them, because they're still crayons, but I haven't tried this myself.

would you be able to keep on remelting them ???
like if these ones that you just melted also get used alot ... and you recycle again ? is that bad for them or is it possible ?
