This was A LOT of fun.

The concept is that you take and hot glue crayons onto a white canvas and then with a blow dryer you melt them and they drip. I like the messy look of the colorful wax dripping down the canvas.

Here is what I did wrong:

I peeled the paper of the crayons thinking it would look better but not realizing that with a blow dryer there isn't direct heat so the wax was spraying everywhere when I started to try and melt the crayons. If I had left the paper on, the paper would have funneled the wax down as it melted.

That's why in the picture above you see me using a blow torch thingy. It's my father-in-law's. He has lots of cool little things like that.

Second, I used a lot of dark colors. It would have looked a lot cooler if I had used brighter colors. I am going to do it again on a smaller canvas with brighter colors.

bottom line...it was fun. I'm sure you can get crazy with it but for the most part....well it was just fun.

I'm not sure if I should post the finished product....I wasn't a huge fan of what it looked like because the dark colors just sort of ran together.

Let me know how yours turns out if you make one!
