PC#19 - Melted Crayon Canvas




This is one of the most popular ideas on Pinterest, so I had to give it a try.  It was quite simple and easy.



I arranged crayons in a gradual fade from green to pink (Elie's room is primarily in green and pink).  I used the color of the crayon itself, so don't look at the paper to judge the fade of colors because it can be misleading.





Then I hot glued the crayons in order onto the canvas.  I was generous with the hot glue because I don't want crayons falling off, yet I didn't want any of the glue to show.



                   Tada



I then took the project outside (upon suggestion from a friend who got melted crayon everywhere!).  Since I scrapbook, I have a heat gun - which get much much hotter than a hair dryer.  With my heat gun, it took a total of 3-4 minutes to finish the whole melting process (the same friend told me took her 20 minutes with a hair dryer).




Relatively easy project that is super cute.  I hung it on the wall upside down and it is adorable!
