Crayon Art

It seems like everyone has been re-pinning crayon art! I had to try it!

I got a nice canvas from Michaels and hot glued the pretty colors from a 64 color Crayola crayon box logo side up. 

Then it got fun! I put up a sheet since I heard this could get pretty messy! I'm glad I did! Don't use a good sheet, there will be some crayon splatters! I used the hottest setting on my hair dryer, and switched between high, medium, and sometimes low, you'll get a feeling for how you want it to look. I found sometimes if it was too high it just splattered it everywhere.

I'm not going to lie, it takes a while (it took me about an hour), but grab your iPod and just zone out on the pretty colors. I stuck to one color group rather than try to heat all of them up at once.

I went back and re-melted some of the colors that didn't show up very well or blended too much with the others.

I thought it looked cooler flipped around, it was so much fun and I love the end result! Next time I think I might melt it a little less.

There are so many different versions online! Some people don't keep the wrappers on, I thought it looked cool, although since I'm such a perfectionist it took a while to perfectly line them all up. 

Have you done it? How did you decide to make yours? Let me know in the comments!
