I had the overwhelming urge to be crafty, so here's the craft I chose:
I love, love, love it!! So easy too!
*First hot-glue crayons in whatever color order you choose in a straight line accross the top of a canvas (I used a thin canvas I had stashed in my craft room - originally from Walmart - 16x20, pkg of 3)
*I put them so that all the color names were facing up.
*Next I propped it up in my bathtub (in case of splatters) and put a paper beneath it to catch colorful wax puddles
*I happened to use my Heat gun (for embossing) but you can use the high heat (but low power) setting on your hair dryer. (I say low power because once the wax gets melty, the air blows it all over if it is blowing too hard)*Next I propped it up in my bathtub (in case of splatters) and put a paper beneath it to catch colorful wax puddles
*It's practically instant gratification! The crayon papers got shiny and within seconds they were dripping!
*You can kinda play around with your heat tool and guide the wax a bit if you like.
*Voila!!
Love it!! (Those are flowers (and butterfly) from my wedding bouquet)
Every kid in my house wants their very own - so I'll get busy making those soon too. Seriously though, so much fun! And it completely mesmerizes the kids!! Do it, you'll love it!!
Now I need to venture to the dollar store for a frame and then I gotta find some spare wall space to hang these...
