    5. Decorative Melts: Pour melted crayon wax onto canvas to create an abstract masterpiece. Allow the colours to run and blend for a vibrant, eye-catching art piece.

    6. Wax Paper Design: Melt the broken crayons between two sheets of wax paper using an iron to create unique designs. Cut into shapes for decorations or gift tags.

    7. Crayon Potpourri: Use your broken bits to make potpourri by combining them with dried flowers and essential oils. The lovely scents will be enhanced by the vibrant colours.

    8. DIY Crayon Stamps: Wrap broken crayons in cloth, dip in paint, and use them as stamps for unique prints that will inspire imaginations young and old.

    9. Crayon Gift Sets: Create quirky gift sets by repurposing your colourful crayon creations. Pair them with a sketchbook to inspire budding artists and pass along your love for creativity.
