Melt broken crayons inside muffin tins and people can't believe the result

Transforming broken crayons into colorful kitchen drawer pulls not only adds a splash of creativity to your home but also offers a sustainable way to recycle unused materials. This DIY project is perfect for anyone looking to add a personal touch to their kitchen decor while engaging in an enjoyable and eco-friendly activity.

These vibrant and unique drawer pulls can be a stunning focal point in a minimalist kitchen, adding a pop of color to neutral cabinetry. Pair them with a sleek, modern kitchen design to create a playful contrast. Alternatively, integrate them into a more eclectic style by mixing with other colorful elements, such as patterned dishware or a bright backsplash.

Chunky broken crayons in various colors

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).

Line the muffin tin cups with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Fill each muffin tin cup with broken crayon pieces, arranging them by color or in mixed combinations as desired.

Place the muffin tin in the oven and let the crayons melt completely, which should take about 15-20 minutes.

Carefully remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the melted crayons to cool and harden completely.

Once cooled, gently remove the colorful crayon discs from the muffin tin.

Drill a small hole through the center of each crayon disc.

Attach each crayon disc to your kitchen cabinet or drawer using a screw and washer, securing them tightly in place.

To customize your drawer pulls, experiment with different crayon colors and arrangements. For a more uniform look, stick to a specific color palette that complements your kitchen's color scheme. Additionally, try using silicone molds in different shapes for the crayons, such as stars or hearts, to further personalize your drawer pulls. If you prefer a more subdued color scheme, select crayons in shades of the same color family, such as various blues and greens.
