Crayon Art

So, just like many of you, I am addicted to Pintrest. I have been looking for fun things for not only me to do but trying to find things Maddox and I can do together.



I decided to make one for my office and decided to add the word "believe".  I used the cricut to cut out the letters and I love the font if I do say so myself!





I just used mod podge to adhere the letters to the canvas.





I laid out the colors in the pattern that I liked
 and hot glued them into place.

It was easy to get them aligned but it took about 15-20 minutes total to get them lined up.

I used a hair dryer to melt the crayons and started with it on high to get them "set" so I could start melting the colors. I went left to right and let each color start to melt and then turned off the dryer to let it set. I repeated the process 3-4 times until I was happy with the splatters/pattern.

one hint: the higher the blower, the more it splatters. :)


and WAAAA-LAH! The finished product
