"Pretzel Crayons"

I almost didn't want to post this. It was supposed to be way cooler than they turned out. I am not 100% happy with this project. I was inspired forever ago by something similar I had seen on SCS. Here is where you can find the crayon box template. I used the 16 crayon size box. It should hold 4 pretzel crayons. However mine only holds 3. I will tell you why. I dipped my pretzels one too many times. I didn't realize it until I tried to wrap the wrappers around them and they almost didn't fit. So they were too thick to fit in the box. If you are going to do this, you should only have one layer of melted chocolate. I used the Wilton Melts. They come in a lot of different colors. You just melt them in the microwave. It's cute don't get me wrong and the teachers will love it, I just don't think it is my best project. If I make them again, I would use cheap cardstock. SU cardstock is a little thick and doesn't wrap well with out getting creases. If you would like the template for the crayon wrapper contact Jenn over Here. She was kind enough to make the template and share it with me. check out her blog too while you are there. She is one talented lady!!
