I am working on adding some “art” to the kids’ playroom. Of course, the first thing I thought of was the crayon art I’ve seen all over the interwebs.
I debated how I wanted to arrange the crayons for awhile and just kept putting the project off. Finally, I decided it was time to just go for it.
I grabbed a blank artist canvas that I had lying around and glued the crayons to it.
I glued them on in no particular order and just tried to make sure that no two really similar colors were next to each other.
Ok, we are ready to melt right?! I’ve read a few different suggestions on the best way to actually go about melting the crayons. I just used my hair dryer.
A melting we will go…

I would love to try this! It looks like so much fun. Thanks for the tutorial.
I love that you used a hair dryer – genius!
this is so cool!! I’ve never seen anything like it. I love it!!
This looks great, what a fab idea 🙂
Thanks so much for linking this up! I love this project! I have made two of these myself! One for a teacher friend, and one for my own office. I just love seeing all the beautiful colors run together! It is so fun and such a pretty piece of art!

Hair dryer art, who knew?! Very cool, looks like fun.
These just always look so cool! I love the randomness you chose.

Hi! Jumped over from CrayonFreckles. My son’s preschool class did this for their Art Show and it was such a big hit! This is on my list of crafts I’d like to do with my kids!
Did one of these weeks ago and was really happy how it turned out…

That looks like a fun project. It turned out great. Can’t wait to give it a try. Megan
Your crayon art turned out so well! Good tip to use the hairdyer too, I always thought I’d need to purchase a heat gun to get that amount of heat.
Thanks for linking up with Tip-toe thru Tuesday with tiarasandbowties.blogspot.com and crayonfreckles.com!
I’ve seen so many of them around as well. I’m glad you decided to try it. I’ve been meaning to but never got around to it! Great job!
I have always wanted to do this with my kids!! It looks so fun! Thanks so much for sharing this as well at Thursday’s Temptation.

Fun idea. I’ve seen this on Pinterest as well, but of course, haven’t made one yet.
Visiting from Home Decor and Organizing Party # 48, hope you’ll stop by my blog too. 🙂
Love the blog,

This is very cute! It’s nice to see someone who actually did the project successfully. ;o) all the tries I’ve seen so far (except for yours) have been hysterical flops. LOL
