Make a Melted Crayon Canvas

Are you a creative person who loves crayons? Well, read on to find out how to make an awesome masterpiece!

Steps

  1. First, find your supplies. (List of supplies below) Make sure that you are working in an area that you don't mind getting dirty.
  2. Glue crayons onto the top of your canvas in rainbow order. Let the glue dry. This might take up to an hour.
  3. When your glue is dry, place your canvas against a wall so it's easier to make the melted wax drip downwards.
  4. Take your hair-dryer, turn it on it's highest setting, and blow-dry the crayons. The heat from the blow-dryer will make the wax drip down the canvas. This may take awhile.
  5. Once you're satisfied with your canvas, let the wax dry. It won't take too long. Hang up your masterpiece in a place where everybody will see it!



Tips

  • Don't blow dry at full speed; the wax will go everywhere. Use lowest or medium speed and highest heat.
  • Don't use dark colors. (Gray, black, dark green, crimson, etc.) Dark colors will melt in with the light colors, and that won't look very nice.
  • Be patient for the crayons to start melting-it will take a while.

You can paint the canvas black before you start for the pop , funk and artsy look.

  • You don't have to glue the crayons on, just lay them down and they'll go in different directions!

Warnings

  • The wax might drip somewhere off of your canvas, so wear clothes that you don't mind getting dirty.
