Instructions:
- Melt the beeswax pellets and coconut oil in a double boiler or a glass jar set in a pot of boiling water. Be careful not to let the water boil over the edge of the pot.
- Once the beeswax and coconut oil are fully melted, stir in the non-toxic powdered pigments until the desired color is achieved. Use more or less pigment depending on how light or dark you want your crayons to be.
- Carefully pour the mixture into silicone molds or other molds of your choice. Use a wooden stir stick to ensure that the pigments are fully incorporated.
- Allow the crayons to cool for at least 30 minutes. You can speed up the process by placing the molds in the refrigerator or freezer.
- Once the crayons are fully cooled and hardened, gently remove them from the molds. Use oven mitts to handle the molds if they are still hot.
- Enjoy your homemade beeswax crayons! They can be used just like regular crayons and are safe for kids to use.
