How to Sharpen Crayon Points
Crayons that become blunt can be refashioned into a sharper point again easily with a little hot water. Here is how.
With Hot Water
-
Dip the blunt crayon end into a bowl of hot water. Leave it for a few minutes. If you don't fancy holding it in place, tie it to a piece of string which ties onto a pencil. Place two piles of books either side of the bowl and rest the pencil across the books, with the crayon string dangling into the bowl just far enough that the tip only is in the hot water.
-
Remove after a few minutes.
-
Shape the tip back again with your fingers.

With Sandpaper
-
Place the crayon tip on sandpaper at an angle.
-
Rub back and forth until it's sharpened. Turn the crayon as necessary to sand off each side and form a point.

- Hot water
- Bowl
- Pencil or crayon sharpener (optional)
- Pencil, string and books if making a crayon stand (useful if you are fixing a lot of crayons)
