Brain Dump

Ok, so I have huge bag of tiny crayons and I hate to just throw them away. So, I was thinking about melting them in a double boiler-type arrangement (using several old veggie cans). Then pouring the wax in a random batik pattern on material (muslin). Pull off the dried wax and have the color of the crayon still on the material. I think we did something like that in art class when I was in sixth grade. That is unless any of you can help with a better use of one inch crayons.
