Decide how many colors you plan on making, and measure out 2-3 grams of each pigment. 3) Melt the wax. Place all the carnauba wax into a saucepan and melt it over low heat. 4) Pour the wax. Add a few tablespoons of wax into one of the cups and place the saucepan back onto the heat. 5) Mold the crayons.
