Christmas Tree Crayon Ornaments
Tai used some shaped crayons to make some fun Christmas tree ornaments:
I have seen a lot of shaped crayon tutorials, but she had a couple of great techniques I hadn't seen before that you should check out. Like using pieces of straws to make the holes for the yarn. This works for ornaments or a crayon necklace!
Also, instead of putting the crayons in the mold whole, she melted them in a can first:
Having the crayons already melted before you put them in the mold might give them a smoother look. Plus you can toss the cans when you are done for easy clean up!
Head over to Taidye Original to check them out. They are a fun craft for the kids and cute to have around if you are having kids over for a Christmas party!

Crayon Box
Elizabeth intended this cute crayon box as a teacher gift:
But I am pretty sure that my girls need one to hold crayons on their desk. You can see how to make this super easy crayon box over at Twelve Crafts 'till Christmas.

Crayon Party Favors
If you have a little one in your house that loves crayons you know that it doesn't take long to accumulate enough 'old' crayons (read as no longer having a point) to bury someone alive! I have seen the idea of melting them down into the silicon molds to make new shaped crayons. And it is a fun idea (I have made round ones before) but it doesn't really get them out of my house. But this idea from Brittany at One Charming Blog does the trick. She made a set of alphabet crayons for each guest as a party favor:
And included one of these very cute notebooks from Etsy:
Replace the Monopoly cards with flashcards and I am thinking you have a perfect party favor for a back to school party!

Inexpensive party favor, recycling, and it gets it out of your house. That might be the trifecta!
