Instructions
Preheat your oven to 275˚ F. While it's pre-heating, remove the paper wrappers from each of your red and green crayons.
Use a knife to carefully break crayons into small pieces.
Shake glitter into star-shaped molds. Add green crayon pieces into 2 of the crayon molds and red crayon pieces into 2 more. Cover the crayon pieces with extra glitter.
Place the silicone mold with the crayon pieces on a cookie sheet or other pan with a flat surface, then into your preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the crayons have completely melted. Remove the silicone mold from the oven after the crayon melts.
Let the hot wax to cool at room temperature overnight (or freeze for about 2 hours to cool faster).
