We honestly don’t know how we ended up with so many crayons, but we have a drawer FULL of them! Maybe you have a bunch kicking around your house too. Why not upcycle them into these gorgeous Melted Glitter Crayons? All you need is some glitter and a small muffin pan. (Tip: If you don’t want wax residue in your muffin pan, you can use paper cupcake liners which will give your crayons cute crinkled edges. We bought our mini-muffin pan at a second hand store and use it exclusively to make crayons.)
Watch our video on how to make them in a 250 °F / 120 °C oven. This is our first non-Rainbow Loom craft video. Let us know how we did in the comments below.
those r so pretty!!! but i am so bad at crafting i can’t make them 🙁
Aww, their really easy;)
Just try, you’ll do great! There’s really no skill needed to melt crayons XD
May I ask
How the heck are these crayons they are just disks
Because crayons are made from wax and you can melt wax into various shapes.
Hope this helped:)
They melt them…
To Jade: They are made of crayon wax. watch the video.
Looks interesting!

Hi it’s ruby from Ruby’s looms and crafts I haven’t been how to do even one video because I haven’t got a camera
Crayons don’t have to be cylinder shaped:)
SC cupcake,
Are you from South Carolina?
Cuz I am!!!
Hi Jade! Great question!
You stated “How the heck are these disks?’
Well, for A: They are made of crayon wax.
for B: They are made out of crayons.
So technically, they are crayons but in a different shape!

Wow, I really love these melted glitter crayons! 🙂 It’s a very good idea! Oh, BTW, second comment! ^__^ After I tried to make them they turned out so good! I made one with only one color of crayon and I thought it looked better than the ones that the colors are all mixed together. That’s just my opinion. Thanks for making the melted glitter crayons!
Great job! You guys are fabulous!! I hope you keep updating these! I love rainbow looming but am also big on crafts so this is perfect:)
Nice but do you have like a pencil mould so they actually look like crayons????
Well done girls good tutorial. My video froze about about a minute before the end 🙁 ….though I got to see you tipping them out! I liked your crayon glasses!!! Lol ….. I just thought a way you could use yr crayons. You know the scratch pictures? Yep good fun!
Love the idea of scratch pictures!
We got some christmas themed silicone moulds i am sooooo gonna make some! 😀
Yess!! Please do scratch pictures 🙂
Wow! They look so amazing, I’m thinking about making camouflage style ones. I’m looking forward to making them!
that would be so cute!!!!
Good idea to make camo crayons!
These are so cute! I love them! Thx!:-)
Btw y’all did awesome!:)
These look like a lot of fun!!! I have tons of crayons and I’m pretty sure that I can use the extras to make these. My brother will love them too! The paper liners are a really good idea!
Super! Epic video!
Cute!!!! I love the intro. You guys did a great job!!!!
So cute! Such a fun way to recycle crayons. I have WAY too many crayons too, most are now mixed together with other colours of crayon so I will try to make these soon! Speaking of crafts, at the school party that was after school today, me and my four closest friends at my school made a miniature Buddhist shrine out of cardboard, decorated with ribbons, stickers, two pom-poms, masking tape, origami flowers, those short cardboard rolls and coloured pens. It’s so cool! It was really nice of my friends to let me take it home. I came up with the idea too 🙂 Maybe you could do tutorials on how to make miniature models of buildings with similar things 😀 And, there was face paint and guess what I got?? I got a red lightning scar on my forehead!! My two closest friends out of the four also got lightning scars, except one was black and one a pinkish colour. They weren’t too specific about what they wanted, lol 😛 And to our teacher, who is REALLY nice we went up to him and I said ‘Avada Kedavra!’ and he froze, and then one of my friends said ‘you’re meant to die!’ and he said ‘oh yes, I forgot’ and mimes dying, lol ;). He has read the books though.

that comment is interesting, hermione.
Uhhh…. What’s a buddhist shrine?
These are so cool! I can’t wait to try them! I really like the idea of LoomLove putting on craft tutorials. Keep up the good work Loom Love!
How long did you bake the crayons?
15 minutes.
Love these my fave is the mixed teal!!!!!
This is so awesome, you have done it again loom love!!!!!!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! FINALLY SOMETHING NEEEEWWWW!!!!!!!!!
Wow! Great Idea! These glitter crayons are awesome. I really enjoy your videos and I think that you should definitely make more craft videos!
Thanks again! 🙂
Loved the crayon eyes 😉
Anyways, I just have a question. Not meant to be offensive.
What are we supposed to do with these after we make them? 😛
Congrats on the first craft video.
And congrats to Shortleaf for winning the giveaway.
That’s all! I would really value and appreciate a response to my question. Thanks.
-Savvy
use them as you would for a normal crayon!!
Thank you! For answering my question. I was just curious. :3 They just look like sparkly round things so I was like “What are they supposed to do o.o”
You can definitely colour with them. If you have little brothers, sisters, cousins, nieces, nephews you could make them as a gift. Little kids love playing with them!
I just saw y’all’s comment reply and I think my nephews would love them!
Thanks for the congrats, Savvy. 🙂
So pretty!!! Love to try this! I love that you guys are making craft tutorials now!!! AWESOME!!!!
You guys should make garbage bag dresses!! I always thought they were super cool but I could never find any good video tutorials. Thanks Loom Love!!
Never heard of garbage bag dresses.
This is awesome!!
Nice first non-RL craft Loom Love!! Its pretty easy so I will try it 🙂
Wow! thats such a cool idea:) do the crayons have to be wax crayons or any sort will do?? You guys are really funny and cute! Loved the video and I’m gonna try this out. Pls get some more awesome craft tutorials out, it was fun watching the video!
Yes, they have to be wax.
What do you use these for ?
coloring and drawing just the usual crayon stuff
Cool (:
So cool! Can’t wait to make them 🙂
We’ve done this before, only we used molds. We used a black/brown crayon and made it look like a chocolate bar. It was so realistic, my dad took a bite of it!!!!!!! It’s really fun to do in molds. I recommend doing molds instead on muffin tins. ????
Never thought of making ‘chocolate’. Sounds like fun!
AWESOME!!! I would like if I could!
Make some more craft videos!
I love crafts!
Love your new design!!!!! it is so cute. good job Loom Love! 🙂 🙂
I really want to try this today if I get all of my homework done. 🙂
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE CRAFTS! I also think that you could do cooking tutorials. 😛
I’m so sad my crayons were colorful when I put them in and now there black and they haven’t melted yet they have been in my oven a long time but they are not melting I don’t know what I did wrong? ):
Sorry to hear that Isabella. Did you set the oven to 250 F? If it was set at 250 Celsius they would turn black.
Oh I hope they turn out ok in the end I really like the video
}:
Oh yeah they worked they just needed to harden that’s all:)
Loom love you should put a section where your fans could share what their craft or rainbow loom creation looked like in the end to inspire color choices for crafts and loom creations! 🙂 🙂 🙂
Hi Isabella. You can share your creations on our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/loomlovefans
These are cool! An idea I thought of is that you could try putting some candle wick through them so you have some little multi-coloured candles 🙂
I thought of this idea too, Josh. I think it would be fun to make these into little candles. 🙂
wow. you guys did an excellent job. i think that your tutorials are so awesome. they are easy to understand. you should do scrapbooking. and show us some DIY Halloween decorations. 🙂
Might try it some time and see how they turn out 🙂
Thanks so much Krysten!
The crayons look so cute after they’d been melted 🙂 keep up the awesome work. But keep the Rainbow Loom tutorials coming!!
I like to use old broken crayons for these.
Can you do them without glitter? I don’t have glitter but I want to do this with my little brother and sister.
Yes, you can make them without glitter.
Can I make it scented WITH the glitter?
Hey loom love, I have an idea. Can you post to get the shaped tins from, because I only have football jello molds. Would that work?
Salut je suis francais
This is a great idea to do them with glitter. I’ve done these before with my family, just without the glitter. I should make some for my little sisters.
These are amazing! For some reason I have thousands of crayons lying around in my house and this would be perfect! Thanks Loom Love 🙂
wow i love this idea now i can use all my broken crayons
Cool. I really like the glitter crayons. Good idea!
i made them but in some there were wierd crayons that diddnt melt XD ! the others are really pretty though 😀 🙂
hi Loom Love I love ur website because its a combanation of looming and crafts . I belive I have seen you at school before too , and maybe you can subscribe to me on youtube ? at youtube.com/user/myloominglife
Peeling the crayon wrappers is harder when you break th crayons first
Me and my sister made these, and we love them! I think it’s so cool that you can turn some ugly crayons into some beautiful multi-colored ones!
LoomLove,
You should do a soap-making tutorial.
shortleaf
Really cute idea, LOVE those crayons! Almost love the video itself more 🙂
Glad we got to see you besides you hand, you guys ( girls ) made this real fun!
Pretty Cool.
Will you do another wacky bracelet contest?
these are wonderful but to be completely honest i always make these before i even saw this
Loomlove this is great for your first ever craft tutorial!!!
These look soooo fun!!! I have a toaster oven too(:
Your crayons look really cool,you guys make THE BEST colour combos!In bracelets too!!!
I made these and the top turned out great but I have no idea how but the bottom of them changed to a colour which wasn’t a colour that I used. Other than that they were pretty cool!
Great Idea ! I really want to make some now ! Thx !
love it! ^_^
Nice it works
wondering how to clean the silicon tray I melted them in??? I popped them out & soaked in hot soapy water & theres still glitter and traces of wax in the tray 🙁
