Melted Crayon Project

This was so fun!  We have seen it circling around the net a few times and just knew we had to do it this summer.

MATERIALS USED:

CANVAS - Any size will do, we used a 16X20.

CRAYONS - Will depend on size of canvas, we used a 64 box and a 24 box.

HEAT GUN - I have seen some use a hair dryer, but it is a bit harder to melt the crayons.

HOT GLUE GUN - and some glue sticks, we went through about 4 sticks.

First I had B separate the crayons from the boxes and put them into color piles.

Then we put the crayons in order of the rainbow (ROYGBIV), and took a before pic.

There were a few extras that were removed as we went along.

Then we hot glued the crayons to the canvas board.

 Then we were ready to "heat it up!"

 So we set it up outside and got the "heat on"...

The crayons started melting INSTANTLY. 

 Then you just run the heat gun back and forth on the canvas as they melt.  The longer you hold it in one spot, the quicker it will run down the canvas.

Then when you have melted as much as you like, your done! 

That's all there is to it!
