Melted Crayon Experiment

A week or two ago I was surfing upon stumbleupon (my favorite thing to do when I'm bored) and found this page and picture of someone who did this.

My brain started working and getting excited. After I read the blog post, realizing how easy this was, I said to myself "Erica, you would be an utter fool to not try something so cheap and original as crayon art"

Fast forward to today, where I had time to myself. I wandered around Jo-anns for a while. I swear I could spend hours in there if I dont keep track of time. After wandering around a while I came to the canvas aisle and my light bulb clicked! CRAYON ART! REMEMBER? DO IT!

Canvas was more expensive than I wanted to pay at Jo-anns, so I purchased my fabric and headed off to walmart. After wandering for a while I found 2 11x14 for 7 dollars. Score! Ran over got some crayons and left.

I studied the image for a while when I came home. I also watched a youtube video to see how others did it. I know the variation of the wax flow depended on your blow dryer and such. And away I went.Id have to say taking pictures of this project was just as much fun as doing it. I LOVE COLOR.

The greatest thing about this project is that ANYONE can do it (obviously little ones with supervision)

But who wouldn't love melting crayons and making art?
