Melted Crayon Pumpkin Decorating

Ooey-gooey wax drippings will make your pumpkin pop!

Carving pumpkins at Halloween is a beloved tradition of the season. We’ve found a way to decorate pumpkins AND make use of a few broken crayons that we have around the house. Melted crayon decorating is a fun little project and a great way to add a pop of color to your usual carving routine. Watch our video for a how-to on melted crayon decorating.
