So I've posted about this method before. And here it is in truth making it's appearance for the holidays.
So the exact principle I described before is exactly how I did it again. Few slight modifications.
Firstly, this time I had to buy crayons for the project.
(And in the spirit of transparent honesty I will say this, Crayola really is superior for this project. This time I bought a different brand. Still good crayons, but the colors in Crayola I feel are more vibrant.)
And secondly, I bought new molds as well.
Target. $2.50 apiece. WHAT a deal!
And then I got some cute little tins to put them in.
This time however, since the shapes were bigger, I needed about four or five crayons per mold. But that's alright, I really like the bigger shapes.
Viola!
So! Cost breakdown:
Crayons - two boxes at $1.50 apiece
Molds - two at $2.50 apiece (but can be reused)
Tins - three at $1 apiece
Per present: $3.66 per present.
Not bad at all :)
How's the rest of you doing out there? On track? Behind? I admit, I'm a little behind. Thanksgiving whopped me quite a bit. But I'm back on my game now! ;) Next project coming together in the next couple of days...
I use Prang soy crayons to color my candles. Those look super-awesome, Al-I'm gonna have to go pick up a couple of those molds.
ReplyDeleteI love these!!! In truth, I'm a twinge behind, but not tragically so, I'll be buying some supplies tomorrow, and hopefully I can get a few good workdays in this week/weekend, and I should be all caught up :)
