Project Restyle #4 - Canvas and Crayon Art

If you are a keen 'pinner' you no doubt will have seen these on there.  I loved the idea and the fact that they are super duper easy peasy.

So this morning I set to it - have had the materials of a wee while but just no motivation.

Now the first rule is you need to either have this playing in the background or sing it as you work! :)



Take one white canvas (any size you want) and arrange your crayons in colour order - I didn't quite use 3 boxes of 24, I also took out the brown, grey, black and white ones.


You are singing the rainbow song aren't ya!

Hot glue them to the canvas with pointed end facing down.  Set to it with either your hairdryer or a heat gun and watch the melting/dribble action begin.

Lots of ooey gooeyness
I started with my hairdryer on high but soon realised the melted crayon was going everywhere, other than down! 

Might not be everyones cup of tea, but I love them.
