How to Make Crayon Towers From Recycled Crayons


Number of Crayons Needed:  12 or more, in a number divisible by 4, depending on how large you want your tower.  Crayons should be as close to full size as possible, or try to keep them the same size.

Other Materials Needed:  Hot glue gun with at least one glue stick


Directions: 





Step 1:  You can leave the paper on the crayons, or take the paper off.  The hot glue works better if you leave the paper on.

Step 2:  Get two crayons and lay them 2 1/2 inches apart.  The width of your structure may have to be adjusted if you have smaller crayon pieces.


Step 3:  Lay two other crayons on top of the first pair so they lay across the first pair like this:




Step 4:  Repeat this until you run out of crayons.
