Melted Crayon Art Take #2

I had so much fun making the first Melted Crayon Art Projectthat I decided I needed to do it again. Except this time I used a bigger canvas and a different heat source.

This time I used a 16 x 20 canvas and a box of 96 crayons. Again I took out the icky colors and also took out the metallics and gels that come in the 96 pack.
The crayons don't fit as perfect on the 16 x 20 canvas as they do on the 11 x 14 canvas.
My heat source this time was our garage heater (B uses it in the winter when he is doing "stuff" out there).
Just starting to melt and drip. The heat is cleared center in the middle of the unit.
It melted the crayons in the middle in perfect lines. Except I didn't want perfect lines, so I titled the canvas this way and that and let the colors spread together.
Almost done. I just needed to heat the sides a little more.
The final product! I am totally thrilled with how it turned out.

I am now even more excited about making more. I love the way the heater melted the crayons. I may try to leave one outside one day, just to see how the sun would melt the crayons. I think I spent $8 on the box of crayons and maybe $5 on the canvas, so this is a super cheap project. Way less than the ones on Etsy go for!!

Have you done any melted crayon art projects yet? What’s your opinion? Yay or nay?
