Melted Crayon Art

Based on Melted Crayon Art by Lacey
For the "live love learn" canvas, I painted the text on the canvas first. I also removed the papers from each crayon and cut each crayon in half ... essentially doubling the amount of crayon on my canvass. When I stuck down the crayons sometimes the crayon just started to melt and didnt stick, I found that all you need to do is use more glue. Melting was simple with a hair dryer, but I found that for the best result you cant have the hairdryer too close to the canvas otherwise crayon goes everywhere.

For the "tree" canvas, I started off by painting the canvas yellow. I hot glued the brown, grey and black crayons to the bottom of the canvas and melted them using the hairdryer angle-ing the canvas in the direction I wanted the melted crayon to move so make branches.
Using a tea-light candle I slightly melted the end of a white crayon and then quickly dotted it onto the canvas. I really liked this effect and found that the more you melted the crayon with the candle, the bigger the dots were.
