So Cam has asked for a Lego themed birthday party this year and even though his party is 2 weeks after Ella's it requires more "do it yourself" prep than Ella's so I'm starting it early (a little over a month) that way I'm not too over whelmed all at once. I was going to order some cute Lego crayons and chocolate off of Etsy but the price was adding up quick!! So my Dh suggested I just get the molds and make them myself so I did! I got these from shescrafty10's shop for $19.95. They came so fast! (seriously a great seller!)
They are great quality. Super sturdy but flexible
Anyway I went to the store and just got a small box of crayons to test.
I DO NOT recommend these if your going to melt them. They color well in original form, but when you melt them....
They separate... All the color goes to the bottom and the wax floats.
See the color at the bottom
They're cute though
See the separation
Also If your going to make the bricks you need 3 of each color to make a good brick. If not this is what you end up with...
Now with the Lego men you only need 1 crayon but when popping it out of the mold go feet first! You'll break off the head otherwise
Also If you want the head to be a different color.... it's not going to happen, sorry
I'll post again when I can try another brand :)
