Crayon Art


   My newest favourite form of art is melted crayons. The colors are so bright and blend so beautifully! (And
, honestly, who doesn’t like the smell of melted crayons?) Crayon art is fairly easy, if slightly messy, to make… you simply break, grate or chip off pieces of old crayons, arrange your shavings on a canvas (you can even use one that has been painted on!) and attack it with a hairdryer. Also, an embossing gun works well,  it gets much hotter and therefore melts the wax faster.
Another way to do it is to hot glue crayons along the top of your canvas, stand it up and let the melted wax drip down the canvas.
