Its raining crayons.

Crayons can be great for drawing, coloring, and melting! Find some old crayons and grab your hair dryer for a craft that will turn out great no what what your age is.

For this project you will need:
*Blow Dryer
*Crayons
*Canvas (or something sturdy)
*Hot Glue Gun




Start by deciding how you want your crayons to be arranged, I put mine in rainbow order in a straight line. The hot glue your crayons to your back drop and let them set. Finally you are ready to start the fun, set up your area with newspaper and do this either in your garage or outside. I know from experience that crayon on the carpet makes for a very unhappy mother.

My second piece, unfinished.










Finally start blow drying, this takes time and patience. It is good to start with one section and wait until those crayons start melting and then work your way across the canvas. Once the crayons have melted to your hearts content you are finished! The instructions may be short but my crayons took about 45 minutes to melt all the way (my arm really hurt after holding the dryer for so long).


The second crayon melting I did was with pieces of crayons in piles and blowing them out to mix together.
