Melted Crayon Art Color Wheel

Supplies

·         Canvas (I used a 11x14)

·         Glue gun

·         Box of Crayola Crayons (I used one crayon of each color in the color wheel)

·         Garbage Bag or Old Towel (optional)

Instructions

While your glue gun heats up, pick out the color of crayons you are going to use in your color wheel. The primary colors are red, blue, and yellow. The secondary colors are orange, purple, and green.

Lay your canvas on a flat surface. You can lay your canvas on an old towel or garbage bag to prevent the crayons from getting on objects you don’t want them on.

In order to make a color wheel you will need to arrange the color of the crayons to be red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple. You can start with whatever color you want at the top of your canvas but the colors must remain in the order listed above to have an accurate color wheel.

Take the first color crayon in place in the glue gun. I recommend starting with one of the primary colors first.  Position the glue gun over the canvas where you would like to deposit the melted wax. Squeeze the glue gun handle to melt the crayon and cause the melted crayon wax to drip onto the canvas.  As the crayons melt move your glue gun to create the pattern you want on your page.

Repeat the last step over for each color of the color wheel until completed.

Remember Have Fun!! You are creating an unique piece of art!
