Melted Crayon Canvas

This is a creative inexpensive way to add color to any room and inspire artists of any age.

Supplies:
Crayola Crayons
Hot Glue Gun
Glue Sticks
Canvas of any Size (Mine is 16 x 20)
hair dryer



Step 1:  
Sort your colors and decide how you want to arrange them.  Be Creative!

Step 2:
Using the Glue Gun, glue the crayons on one end of the canvas with the points facing down.


Step 3:
Using the Hair Dryer on maximum heat, heat the crayons one section at a time. Alternating from back to front. By heating the canvas from the back it helps to eliminate clumping and gives a more even melt.   Notice the splatters caused by the blowing air. It can be a nice touch. I used my hair dryer on the lowest air setting to get the least splatter. 




Step 4:
Let Dry and Hang.
 Be sure to proctect your work surface. This has the potential to get messy!
