Making Art Supplies

                     

Sometimes, being creative can be costly. Because I was unsure about investing in a brand new supply, I decided to make my own version before I invested in the real deal. I am not suggesting that my take even comes close to the real deal, but it allows me to see how and how much I would use the medium before I invest the big bucks!

Another YouTuber  (Link: Melissa Martin    • DIY RAINBOW MARKERS!)  inspired me to make my own Rainbow Markers from inexpensive children's art supplies I purchased at my local Dollar store (Dollarama). By the way, I live in Canada.

If you venture into making your own, I have some tips.
#1  Use designated tools for crafts. DO NOT USE the same knife for food.
#2   Refrigerate the crayons before you begin, AND after slicing into strips. Trust me; this will help with the reassembly part. :)
#3  Be prepared to have messy hands.
#4  Have a sense of humour, you'll need it!
#5  Have fun!

I am still on the fence about investing in the more expensive kind, but don't hold me accountable to that! lol
