Melted Crayon Art

Pinterest struck again and, over the weekend, L and I decided to make another fun project I spotted on there. I love using L’s own projects to hang on the walls in the playroom and in the basement, so I knew this melted crayon project would be perfect.

We used a box of 64 crayons, Elmer’s glue, an 11×14 canvas (I think) and a hairdryer.
First we lined up all the crayons and made sure they were color coordinated.
It's harder to color coordinate crayons than you would think.
Next I put glue on the opposite side of the canvas and L and B transferred crayons one by one, so that they stayed in color order.
All glued on! Just waiting for it to dry.
These are the rejects from the box of 64. We only wanted bright colors!
All dry! I should have used more tin foil....
Looking good. It didn't take too long to get the crayons to start melting. And splattering.
We really had no idea on how this project should have been completed? Were we supposed to ends? The pointy part? Who knows.
All done and I love it!

I was super pleased with how this project turned out.  I probably would melt the crayons longer next time, but they were splattering all over and we kind wanted to contain the mess.  I think doing it outside would be the best idea.

Did you do any projects over the weekend?  If so, let’s hear about it!!!
