How to Make Miniature Crayons for Your Doll House or Room Box

There are several methods one can use to make miniature crayons for their doll house or room box. I will cover three methods that I've come up with and another that I saw on a website. You can decide which you like best, or which suits your need or scale best.

The first style of crayons I will discuss making are fairly simple, but really realistic.

What You Will Need:

Glue
Plastic scrapbook crayon decorations or buttons
Scissors or nail clippers

How To Make Them:

Stop to a shop that sells a fairly wide variety of scrapbook accessories or buttons. I found mine at Michaels in a mixed bag with apples, abc's and scissors.
There's two ways you can make these. The first is to clip the loop off of the back of your crayon with scissors or nail clippers and just let the crayons lay flat as is on a table or desk in your scene.
If you want a more authentic look yet you can make a package for your crayons. Lay your crayons in your scene and sit back and admire them!

The other method is to take two crayons of the same color and clip off of the loops and to glue the crayons back to back. This will give you a round three dimensional crayon.

How To Make Them:

Cut the loops off of two crayons of the same color.
You will most likely need to trim the loops with a nail clipper and / or a nail file.
Sand any of the remaining loops off so that the back of the crayons are flat.
Once the backs of the crayons are completely flat, glue them back to back flat sides together.
Let the crayons sit and dry.
You can add some packaging to the crayons, if you'd like.
You are all done, now set them in your room box or doll house scene.

The second style of crayons are a bit more complex to make, but they are still classed as being an easy project, I believe. I will advise patience in making these as they are rather difficult to assemble and to work with.

What You Will Need To Make Them:

Scrapbook paper with a small (in scale) crayon design
Glue, tape or clear mounting squares
Scissors or craft knife
Rounded Twist Ties (I used the ones that are used to hold children's toys in the packaging)
