Make your own Lolipops with Melted Crayons!

Ever wanted to fake some lollipops?  And yes i know i'v done on fake milkshakes and all, but this is way cooler  =D You've gotta try this to know how awesome it is.

Now with Melting Crayons you can do lots more, i'm sure if you search them you'd get a lot of creative results! And this was my idea of it (i don't know, maybe someone else has done it too =P )

Crayons melt because they're made of wax. So it dries very soon too just like candle wax.

So let's get on with it! ;)



What you need :
1) Crayons (lots of the cheap ones of your fave colours)
2) Matches & Candles
3) Toothpicks

4) An egg box or whatever you can make the shape for the Lolipops from.. =D You can even use a pan? depending on what you really want (say your baking pies)

5) Tracing Paper or Oil Paper (Optional)
6) Small Knife



Now to start :

1) Begin with getting your Oil paper and the box of structure your going to make it in. Put a small Oil Paper layer in it. This is to make sure the Melted Wax doesn't absorb to the structure box. In my case, the egg box! Note it says its optional. ;)


I got the egg box because eggs are round and obviously they have to sit in a oval shape until they get home safe =P So in my case when you melt the Crayons into it, you will have a great half circled shape.


2) Slowly melt your faviourite colors of Crayon into the Oil Paper. If you don't have Oil Paper its fine, Just melt it onto it. The color you put in is the base color and it would actually be the flavor of the lollipop.



Its really easy if you'd burn this with a Candle and not a match and also if you're using a candle, you can get a rather cool effect in your lollipop by melting the whole candle till the last two inches (and obviously you fingers will burn so..) keep the candle inside the malted Crayon and melt the rest of it so it blends into the melted ones.
You need a lot of Crayons mind you if you want to get a bigger one.



Also its better to take the Oil Paper off after you have melted the Crayons, otherwise your lollipops will have weird shapes, trust me, it happened. Your gonna have something like this in the end otherwise :


3) Next get a toothpick after your melted Crayons have come to its maximum place of melting and you don't have any space more. Place it right in the middle, bit angled so it doesn't look perfect and hold it on for a lot longer like say fifty seconds? hoping that it will stay, try taking your fingers off of it to see.




4) Once it is done too wait like half an hour till it dries, and trust me its wax so it will. ;) Then crop it out with a knife. If there are bumps and all, its alright just cut it out avoiding the bump, yo can always make it perfect once you take it out 'coz to dry actually overall it should take one hour at least.


5) Next Fix the errors. If there are bumps and its too dried to make it with your fingers, burn it a little and it will melt. Use something to poke it and fix it.

6) Decorate if you want any toppings like chocolate nuts or whatever? I don't know.. depending on what you like.

7) Burn a delicious topping! As you can see in the below picture i have put red into my yellowish one. All i did was, i told someone to hole the lollipop for me, and i burnt a crayon fro top so it just falls down like a topping.

8) Make it shine abit? I have put some hair cream for the time being to give it a small shine. Its fake afterall, but really in reality it doesn't shine this much =D





Easy as that!
Try it if you like it. ;)
Enjoy! xx
