Next, remove all of the crayon wrappers. Most of the crayons should be sticky with the colors of other crayons.
Rub with an oiled tissue
Put some baby oil on a tissue and rub the dirty part of the crayon. This will clean the crayon. Shaping the tip to make it easier to draw in a round shape will give it a cleaner appearance.
Cut wax paper and apply double-sided tape
Prepare wax paper of your favorite pattern or color, cut it to the size of the crayon, and attach double-sided tape so that it can be stuck to the crayon.
Wrap around crayon
Wrap wax paper around the crayon. This will bring the crayon’s appearance back to life in one fell swoop.
Clean the outside of the box.
Next is the outside of the box. Cut the wrapping paper of your choice to a size larger than the box. It is fun to use a pattern that children will enjoy or a stylish pattern.

Paste the wrapping paper on the box. You can put the same paper on the lid as well.
