Guess what happens when you dry clothes with a red crayon in the dryer

[Renew Deal]

All your clothes are dry with red streaks on them. Oh, and the entire dryer is pink!

1. Another triumph of the experimental method!

2. If you use the 'flesh' crayon do the clothes become invisible when you wear them ? n/t

Good luck!

7. Thanks for the tip

One of the suggestions was WD-40, soap and water. That doesn't sound like a good idea.

10. No problem... and yes it sounds like scary mix!

But the Googling got me a great art idea I will have to try out now!

I originally saw this awesome crayon melting art idea on pinterest, and like a ton of other people, couldn’t resist the urge to make my own.

11. Reminds me of the time when my daughter was little

A crayon got mixed up in the laundry. When the load came out of the dryer and I could see how it had all spread throughout the clothes, I figured I had no choice but to toss the lot of them away. I saved a pair of pajamas as I figured the crayon stains wouldn't matter on PJ's. What do you know: the next time I washed the PJ's, the crayon came out -- turns out they were washable crayons in the first place and I didn't know it. What a waste of some good clothes!!!

12. There was a war in the dryer. The clothes lost. nt

13. If you put in several different crayon colors

do you get an alternative to "tye-dying"?
