I planted a crayon tree years ago and I cut one of the branches off when I want one. . Just kidding, you cut a section of branch and drill a hole in each end and place a piece of crayon in the holes then widdle one end of the branch with a sharp knife.How do you grow them ?
I drill a hole in the middle of each end of the branch with a small drill bit then use a 3/16" drill bit to make the holes bigger. The holes do not go all the way through the branch, the holes are about 2" deep. I cut pieces of a crayon about 2 1/2 - 3" long and put a piece in each hole, the crayon fits snug but I do put a little white glue in the holes. I cut one end of the crayon flush with the branch (top) and whittle the other end (bottom) to form a point. These are not meant to be used/sharpened, they are just for looks.This are really cool !!
Questions because this Inquiring mind wants to Know..
I get the drill a hole but how do you get the crayon portion to size nd be able to slip it sown the hole?.. I assume that portion is the "hard part"
again LOVE this !!

Maybe you could melt the crayon into the hole.
Yes, you could melt the crayons into the hole.Those are really unique and rustic looking. Tell your kids/grandkids these are what we used back when I was a kid.

Certainly .When you plant the crayon seeds, do you use different color seeds in the same hole to get multi color branches?
