http://www.instructables.com/id/Crayandle/

Step 2: Crayons
Lay three crayons side by side, and measure string to fit the three crayons.

Cut string to desired length (preferably small).

Step 4: Tape
Break off a piece of tape, lay sticky side up, and put two crayons on it so they both stick.

Step 5: String
Place the length of the string on the two taped crayons so that it is inside of the middle of the crayons.

Step 6: Third Crayon

Carefully place the third crayon on top of the two others and the strings so that it rests on the other two.

Step 7: Tape
Slowly wrap the tape around all three crayons and be careful not to move them.

Step 8: Wire
Select a desired length of wire (6 inches)

Step 9: Wrap
Slowly wrap the wire tightly around the three crayons so that they are held together at the top.

Step 10: Wrap

Now do the same thing down by the tape.

Step 11: Remove Tape

Slowly remove the tape and adjust the wires so that the top is near the half mark and the top of the crayons, and move the bottom wire so that it is close to the bottom of
the crayons.

Step 12: Trim String

Trim the string so it is close to the tips of the crayons.

Step 13: Light

Light the string and make sure that it stays lit for a few seconds, in a survival situation, this can burn for around 1 hour.

Step 14: After

You can light these in the dark and produce quite a bit of heat.

Step 15: Extra

You could also burn a single crayons at the paper that will last for 30 minutes.

No, the flame stays inside the three and slowly burn the paper and won't move down until the wax is burned

with the three crayon candle, does the paper eventually catch all around and make a big flaming torch(triple sized single crayon candle)? or does it stay lit
candle-like?

Just smells like crayon the whole time but its not that powerful that u won't be able to stand it.

Can't be worse than when a child eats them to see if the yellow one tastes like cheese.

are there any smells given off by this like burnt paper or plastic?

Mikeman4290 says:
Unless there is something in the paper or wax it should be the same as a candle
