How to:
The first step is to peel the paper off the crayons,you can use the knife or soak crayons in water for easy peeling.
Next, fill a Dixie cup with wax and microwave for a minute. Give it a stir and microwave it in 30-second interval until wax is completely melted. Pour a thin layer of wax at the bottom of each juice glasses and place the candlewick to the centre. Let harden.
Using one crayon per colour,fill a dixie cup with wax and top up with a broken up crayon. Microwave for a minute and then in 30-second interval until completely liquified. Let cool for 30seconds and pour cooled wax in to the juice glass. Let the first layer dry for 20 - 30 minutes.
Repeat this process and continue to pour different colour layers of wax into the juice glass, making sure to let them dry between each layer.
