Today I’ve asked the talented Bird’s Party to share her super cute and fabulously DIY circus crayon favors with us.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Homemade crayons make fun and economical party favors for any age, and it’s a great use for all those broken crayons lying around the house! I made these for my kid’s Big Top Circus birthday party!
What you’ll need:
-
Wax crayons
-
Craft knife
-
Clean, empty and dry can
-
Chocolate molds (mine is a Wilton’s)
-
Cello bags
-
Favor bag topper
And here are the easy steps:
-
If your crayons have paper labels, take them off with a craft knife. Simply score down the length of each crayons and the paper comes off easily (NOT a job for kids!)
-
Break up the crayons into equal pieces so they melt evenly, and place them into the can. You can use similar shades of one color or mix crayon colors for a groovy effect!
-
Place the can in the oven on how heat (about 100 degrees) until melted.
-
Pour the melted wax carefully into the molds until level and let it set in the fridge. (NOTE: Molds cannot be reused for edible items!)
-
Once cooled, remove the crayons carefully from the mold, place them into a cello bag and add a topper.
Cute, right?
Thanks you so much Kim for having me!

I always wondered how people made shaped crayons. Now it all makes sense! Thanks for the tutorial!
Cute, cute. I have a sports mold. I think I’ll try them!
Thanks again for sharing Bird!
And so glad you ladies are going to try them! I’m thinking of making some Halloween ones myself. ;)
Thanks Kim for the idea. My son Tristan is going to be 1 on October 28th and his party is a Circus themed Halloween party. These favors would be great for his older brother’s friends who are coming. I think ill try them with a mix of colored crayons on one shape.. You can check out my blog to see my envisioning of the Circus party. I look forward to posting pics of the party!!
Thanks again,
