Candles!

   Do you have any old crayons that you don't use anymore? Well, instead of throwing them out, there is a way you can recycle them! You can make beautiful candles out of them! All you need is a few materials:

• Container (About 2-3 inches tall and microwave safe)
• About 10-15 old crayons of one color
• microwave
• toothpick

   Now we are ready to start!  First, you need to rip the wrappers off the crayon. Make sure the color of the crayon you chose is a colorful color. Do not use any black or brown. One you have done that, drop the crayons into the container. If some don't fit, just break the crayons in half. Furthermore, take your container and put it in your microwave for about two minutes. After you take it out, the crayons you put in the container should be melted. Keep the container out and don't touch touch it for about five minutes because the wax needs to rest a little bit.

   Now we have to put the wick in the melted crayon mixture. You have to use the correct wick size in order to have your candle work properly. It should be about a half an inch taller than the container. First, take a toothpick and poke a hole in the middle of the mixture. Make sure it is big enough for the wick to fit in. Once you are done with that, you can put the wick in. After it is in, you should see about a half of an inch out so you can light it up. If it is more, just cut it so it is the right size. If it is less, you need to put another wick in. In summation, let it rest for five minutes and then you are done! Have fun making candles!
