Melted Crayon Art


Adjectives that I'd like to pair with this project:
quick, easy, cheap, and fun!!





Last week, I bought 3 boxes of crayons and a white canvas at Ollie's and while I sat in traffic on the way home, I peeled off the labels.  It works great to keep them on, too, I just didn't buy Crayola so these wrappers didn't look spectacular. 

Later, I lined up the crayons in the order I wanted and glued them down with a hot glue gun.  

 Next, I put down newspaper (be sure to do this, because it has the potential for spatters!) and plugged in my hairdryer.


 I found the low setting to be the most useful, since it doesn't blow air as hard (making messes) but is still warm enough to melt the crayons.

The wax dries very quickly!
