Easy DIY Easter Egg Crayons

Recycled Easter egg crayons

Craft Materials

Before starting this project, you’ll need the following materials:

Crayons, Silicone Easter Egg Mold

I love the idea of recycling crayons and using molds to make new ones. That’s why I save ALL my sons’ broken crayons.

I haven’t seen where anyone has made DIY Easter egg crayons and since it’s Easter time, I thought this would be PERFECT!

These Easter egg crayons would be fun for the kids to use on their next coloring project. Better yet, they would be GREAT as party favors at the kids’ next Easter party.

Getting Started

Since I’ve been saving the kids’ broken crayons, I was ALL SET with that part. While I was a TJMaxx, I found this cute Easter egg mold and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it!

Easy DIY Easter Egg Crayons: Getting Started

Step 1 – Prep Crayons for Mold

I had/helped my son pull the wrappers off his crayons and break them into pieces. I think he was excited that he was actually able to BREAK his crayons (and not get into trouble).

He was actually having fun breaking crayons!!

Step 2 – Add Crayons to Mold

Then, my son placed ALL the crayons in the Easter egg mold until they reached the top.

Quick Tip: Be careful NOT to overfill the molds, it can end up quite messy!

Step 3 – Bake the Crayons

I preheated the oven to 350 degrees, then baked the crayons for 12 minutes.

Step 4 – Allow Time to Dry

I removed the mold from the oven. Allow the crayons to sit for 3 hours BEFORE pulling them out of the mold.

My son was super excited he couldn’t wait to see his crayon eggs!

Step 5 – Finishing Touches

When cool, gently pull each Easter egg crayon from it’s mold and VOILA all done!!

Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor a Happy Thursday friends! One of my favorite decor accessories is... you guessed it, FOWERS! I have flowers all over my house, several in each room actually. I even switch them out for the seasons. One of my favorite places to find faux flower arrangements is @homegoods. They have the bet selection to choose from. 🌺🌻

One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is One of my favorite pieces in my master bedroom is this light fixture I got at @worldmarket. I have been eyeing it for years, and knew when I finally decided to give my bedroom a makeover I had to have it! What a difference a light fixture can make in a room. I love just laying in bed and staring at it, kinda obsessed.

After being in our house for 7 years we finally de After being in our house for 7 years we finally decided in August to start our bedroom makeover. We've put this room off last and focused more on the other rooms in the house since we moved in. For our 20 year wedding anniversary, we decided it was time to give OUR bedroom a makeover now. I feel like it's been a long process, but I'm so happy with what's been done so far. It's so bright and airy in here now, a perfect way to relax and unwind for the day. We still need to shiplap the walls, but I wanted to share a sneak peek.
