Rainbow Crayon Vases

This Unique Vase Was Carved Out of Nothing but Crayons

— April 11, 2016 — Art & Design
YouTuber Peter Brown has done the unthinkable with his rainbow crayon vase creation. He found a way to have crayons on furniture without it being something to be cleaned up or replaced. As a matter of fact, he found a way to create an entire piece of furniture out of nothing but crayons.

Brown carved a flower rainbow crayon bud vase out of 256 crayons. The best part about this vase is that it is completely waterproof.

He begins by freezing the crayons to make it easier to get the paper wrappers off, then he melts the crayons together in a container and lets it sit for a few days to completely solidify. He then gets to work carving out the perfect vase and the result is as gorgeous as you would expect it to be.
