Whether you're looking for a fun activity for the kids, or looking to add some interesting artwork to your walls, you can't go wrong with project...made completely of melted crayons!
Materials Used:
Directions:
Materials Used:
- Canvas (size/amount of your choice)
- 1 Box of Crayons (brand doesn't matter)
- Wax Paper
- Potato Peeler or Knife (peeler works better)
- Iron
Directions:
- Begin by selecting your crayon color choices
- Using the potato peeler/knife, you will need to shave the crayons until small slivers are produced. (either separate the colors into a bowl to distribute onto the canvas later, or begin spreading out on the blank canvas)
- Once you have shaved down the crayons, begin spreading the shavings over the canvas
- When you've reach the desired amount, place a sheet of wax paper over the top of the shavings (I doubled it and put 2 pieces over the top to ensure my iron didn't melt through to the crayon)
- Turn your iron on medium, or cotton, and begin pressing down lightly atop the crayon shavings (the paper may wrinkle a bit, and that's okay, it will give a neat effect once complete)
- You'll notice the colors begin to melt - you can shape and blend the colors using the iron as well
- Once the desired effect is reached, remove the wax paper and let dry for a few minutes
