Crayons aren't just for preschoolers.

Crayon Art

September 16th, 2011

Have a box of crayons laying around? I'm sure everyone does.

Coloring is fun, even at nearly twenty-three like me...

But this is definitely a better use for those colorful tools.

What You'll Need:

box of crayons

canvas

hot glue gun

blow-dryer

It's Simple.

(1.) Peel all crayons

-- this is what takes the longest.

(2.) Place them in a rainbow

-- and, or roy g. biv fashion, if you will.

(3.) Glue them accordingly,

-- along the top of the canvas.

(4.) Blow-dry the crayons and

allow crayon wax to melt as desired.

I plan to melt this a bit more. It does make a bit of a mess, so avoid blow-drying near fabrics or carpets. But this is a fun, creative way to recycle old crayons. Happy crafting :)
