Crayon Art

 
This is an art project I did for my son's nursery. Great way to teach him colors.

What you will need:
-wrapped canvas
-hot glue gun
-crayons
-heat gun

Before you get started, arrange your crayons at the top of the canvas to make sure you like the color pattern and to figure out how may crayons you will need. Then, just start gluing each crayon to the canvas.  Be sure that all of the glue has dried before moving on to the next step.

Now, let's get ready to use that heat gun.  You may want to set up some cardboard boxes or newspaper around your canvas, because the wax from the crayons will splatter.  This will need to be done outside or in your garage.  You will want to lean the canvas up against a wall so that the wax will drip down your canvas.

Power on! Start from one side and work to the other by getting your heat gun close to the crayons.  How close or how far to place your heat gun will depend on how much wax you want dripping down your canvas.  The closer the heat gun to the crayons, the more wax that will drip.  Let this dry before hanging. 

Hope you have fun with this project.  I think it's great for a playroom or child's room. Enjoy!
