Preheat your oven: Set it to 250°F (about 120°C). The low heat will ensure the crayons melt gradually and evenly.
Prepare the crayons: Remove paper wrappers as gently as possible. It can be a satisfying tactile experience to peel them off, revealing the colorful surfaces beneath.
Break the crayons into pieces: Aim for smaller chunks about one inch in size to ensure they melt properly. This step can be quite soothing, allowing you to focus on the texture of the crayons as you work.
Fill the molds: Place the crayon pieces into each flower mold, mixing colors if desired. Notice how vibrant and varied the colors look as they fill the mold.
Melt the crayons: Place the filled molds on a baking sheet and put them in the preheated oven. Watch closely as the crayons melt into a beautiful waxy liquid. This part is mesmerizing; the colors blending creates a stunning visual.
Cool and remove: Once melted, remove the molds from the oven and let them sit until they are completely cool. This can take about 30 minutes. As they cool, the anticipation builds, and you can think about where these flowers will brighten your space.
Unmold: Once cool, gently release the flowers from the silicone molds. They'll pop out smoothly, revealing your beautiful glowing creations.
Display your flowers: Position them in a place where they catch the light, such as a window or a shelf. Watch as they glow softly, transforming your environment.
