🖍 DIY Tutorial: How to Create Custom Crayon Molds Using Amazing Mold Putty
What you'll need:
✅ Crayons (broken or whole)
✅ Protective gear (gloves, oven mits)
✅ Baking sheet or tray
✅ Wax Paper
🪄 Instructions:
Step 1: Mix and Prepare the mold putty
- Start by preparing your Amazing Mold Putty. Measure equal parts of Part A and Part B.
- Knead them together until you achieve a uniform color. Make sure to work quickly, as the putty begins to set in 2-3 minutes.
Step 2: Shape the mold around your object
-
Immediately after mixing, shape the putty around the object you want to replicate. Press it firmly to capture all the details. Allow the mold to cure for about 10-15 minutes without moving it.
-
Note: Choose objects that are easy to demold and have minimal undercuts to avoid sticking.
Step 3: Prepare and melt crayons
-
Peel the paper wrappers off your crayons and break them into small pieces. Place the crayon pieces directly into your prepared mold, filling each cavity with the desired amount of crayon. Arrange the colors as you like for a unique effect.
-
Pro Tip: Mixing different colors in each mold cavity can create a beautiful marbled or layered effect once the crayons are melted!
Step 4: Bake the crayons in the oven
-
Preheat your oven to 130°F (65°C). Place the mold filled with crayons onto a baking sheet lined with wax paper or a non-stick baking mat to catch any spills. Carefully place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the crayons are fully melted.
-
Keep an eye on the oven to ensure the crayons melt evenly without overheating the mold. Once melted, carefully remove the mold from the oven using oven mitts and allow it to cool.
step 5: Remove and enjoy your custom crayons
-
Once the crayons have completely hardened, gently remove them from the mold. Your custom-shaped crayons are now ready to use or give as a creative gift!
With Amazing Mold Putty, creating custom crayons is fun, easy, and perfect for unleashing your creativity. Follow these six steps to make your own personalized crayons that are perfect for any crafting adventure!
