Melted Crayon Art

Inspiration

Finished Product
Step One: Peel off crayon wrappers.
Step Two: Snap crayons in two pieces depending on the size of your canvas.
Step Three: Sketch or freehand design with pencil onto canvas.
Step Four: Place crayons onto design and hot glue them down.
Step Five: Once all the crayons are hot glued onto the canvas, spread newspaper out in your work area.
Step Six: You can use a hair dryer on a hot setting to melt the crayon or I used an embosser. Hold heat over tips of crayons and angle your canvas the way you want the wax to drip while holding canvas in one hand and the heat source in the other. Heat in sections and let dry before rotating your canvas.

  1. Using the embossing tool is a brilliant idea! It is easier to hold and turn and it gets hotter.
