    Just tried these with my kids I keep. They’re beautiful and the kids got so excited seeing their colors. Got my ornaments at AC Moore last night 6 for $3.99 on sale this week.
    I did have to use over 1/2 crayon instead of a 1/4 and used 3 colors to get total coverage.

    Oh ,my bulbs are 80 mm so that may be why I had to use more crayon. Anyway, great way to use up broken crayons.

      Use Crayola crayons; they melt better. 🙂

      I tried one of the cheap brands of crayons… they didn’t melt very well. I thought maybe it was something with my microwave or the ornaments I got until I tried it with crayola. the 11 I did with crayola turned out really cool. The one I did with the other brand looks like it was made for Halloween.

    I will probably use a plastic one, if I were to do this, but do you think it’d work with multiple different colors and turn out like tie dye? Or would they all blend and make a brown?

      If you use red and blue they will blend. And make a purple.

    I did not find this an easy craft project at all. On our first attempt, I discovered that the ornament was so hot after coming out of the microwave that my kids couldn’t touch it. In fact, I ended up burning myself, dropping the ornament and then having it shatter. Glass and hardened melted crayon was everywhere. We then came up with a new plan and dipped the ornaments with the crayon in them into a pot of boiling water. This worked out okay but the steam was still hot and a challenge to deal with. Covering the top of the inside of the ornaments was tricky too. We did end up with beautiful ornaments, but it was way more of a project than I had expected!

    I love this idea with the crayons, but it doesn’t seem like it’s as easy to do as it looks.

    Saw these in a 4/5 class I substituted for yesterday. The kids said they had used a hairdryer. They were lovely!

    I tried to melt the crayons in the microwave and all it did was burn up my microwave. Can someone tell me how to melt the crayons with out ruining my microwave

      Use your hair dryer and cut the crayons up pretty small

    I’ve made 14 glass Christmas bulbs so far. I actually used my grater to get small pieces of crayon. I used my hair blower, and yes, it does get warm / hot…I put a whole crayon in the opening and then held the blower on the bulb…some look great and others not so great but I like the end result…Merry Christmas!

    I would like to use blue and yellow for school colors, but do not want the ornament colors to Ultimately blend and become green. Is there a way to make the colors more streaky instead of blended? Also someone mentioned glitter. How would that work?

    Thanks
