Crayon art: an easy craft!

This year seems to be the year of crayon art. If you have no idea what I’m talking about, take a look at this picture. It’s a really cool piece of art that looks like it may be complicated to do and only really talented artists can do. The good news is that’s so far from the truth! This type of art is actually really easy to do. The supplies you need include: a clean white canvas of any size, a big box of crayons (can be the cheap ones from the dollar store), a hot glue gun, and a hair dryer. The steps to do this are really easy to follow.

1. First, this craft works best if you peel the paper off of the crayons. This part is kind of tedious but it works much better.

2. Then you glue the crayons anywhere you want on the canvas. I usually glue them to the top so it looks like its raining color from the top! You can put the crayons in any color order you want. I have found that to get the most color out of it gluing two crayons of the same color next to each other works best (just so your colors pop more).

3. The next step is the best part. You turn on your hair dryer and then just act like you’re drying the crayons. After a couple of seconds under the heat they begin to melt. Depending on how much you want them to drip will depend on how long you leave the dryer on them for.

It’s as easy at that! The melted crayons will dry within a matter of minutes. I highly recommend trying this out it’s a lot of fun and you can’t go wrong with the end product!
