Melted Crayon Art

Back in December I pinned this cute little guy from Rock A Bye Butterfly; since then I've seen many people take the concept of Melted Crayon Canvas Art and run with it.  I am no different!  It is such a SIMPLE and easy project to do-- you cannot go wrong.

I thought making our own Melted Crayon Canvas Art would go perfect during our current row, "Harold and the Purple Crayon."  Last week I made a craft store run to pick up a pack of canvases, cheap crayons, and items for another project; this other project is turning into a scavenger hunt... where oh where can I find a package of ALL white buttons.  It is nearly impossible!

Anyways, I had Tyler pick the crayon colors he wanted and I hot-glued them down.  Before heating them with a blow-dryer, I spelled his name using stickers.  You can see the crayons got underneath the stickers a little bit, but I still think it turned out pretty neat! 

What you need:

Canvas

Box of crayons

blow-dryer

Glue gun

some kind of drop cloth to catch any splatters

1. Simply arrange your crayons on the canvas with hot-glue

2. Blow-dry away!  It'll take a few seconds to get the crayons heated up to melt

3. Watch your crayons melt away! 

This is one neat project!  Enjoy!
