Description People can't accuse me of not recycling my stuff...melting these old pens was scarily easy.

And thats how it looks like on my wall: [link]

It's really easy to do and I got the idea from here: [link]

They are the wax pens. It would work best with the original crayons, but I think anything waxy works.

What kind of pens did you melt? the colours blend so much nicer on here than on the crayon example you linked.

I used som cheap oil-pens. Crayons are wax-pens, right? So I guess oil just melts a different way. (I just can't get my hand on real Crayons in Germany, without ripping deep wholes in my pocket).
I think the oily ones worked out well, right?

Yeah, they're really nice, I suppose we'd call them oil pastels? but either way nice job, very pretty result

So you melted then pens? I didn't know you could do that with a hair dryer...now I've gotta try that.
