Description
Create stunning decorative art pieces using melted crayons for a colorful DIY project.
Ingredients
- Old crayons (broken or whole)
- Canvas or thick paper
- Hot glue gun and glue sticks
- Hairdryer or heat gun
- Protective table covering or newspaper
- Optional: stencil or template for design, tape
Instructions
- Lay down a protective covering on your work area to catch any wax spills.
- Choose the colors you love and break them into smaller pieces (about 1-inch segments) for easier melting.
- Use a hot glue gun to securely attach the crayon pieces to the top of the canvas, arranging them in your desired pattern.
- Point a hairdryer or heat gun at the crayons, starting from a distance. Gradually move closer to melt them.
- Watch as the colors drip down the canvas, creating beautiful streaks.
- Allow the artwork to cool for a few minutes. The wax will solidify as it cools, creating a stunning finish.
Notes
Experiment with color blending, stencils, and adding mixed media for varied effects. Store finished artwork flat in a cool place.
