You Will Need...
Lots of crayons (Pick out your colors)
A small canvas
Hot glue gun
Heat gun or blow dryer
Newspapers for the floor
To start out, get your canvas and arrange your crayons on it the way you like. Next, hot glue the crayons in that pattern that you just put them in. (pick up a crayon, put some glue down, and stick it right back on) You might want to let them dry for a while, I let mine dry while we ate lunch and that worked well. Once they are dry, put some newspaper on the ground and stand up the canvas like it's on an easel. Take your heat gun or blow dryer and start melting the tips of the crayons. If you're using a heat gun, (which is a lot hotter than a blow dryer,) they should start to drip right away. A blow dryer probably will take longer to melt the crayons, but it depends on the dryer. Before the drips are completely dry, melt the ends of the drips, as this will make them go farther down the canvas. Once you think it looks good, you're done! Very simple, right? You can hang your art on the wall, or just set it up somewhere, but wherever you put it, it is sure to impress your family and friends.
