DIY Collage Crayon Art

by Heather - 1:05 PM

I took a canvas and put pictures of makeup,clothes,quotes,men,and just fun stuff. Then I did the crayon melt over the top of it. This isn't the final picture because I am framing it and I went back and melted the crayons a lot more. I have to wait to frame the picture so I was eager to show you!

If you are interested in doing this yourself it's super easy.

1.Buy Canvas whatever size you want :)(Make a collage of all your favorite things,quotes,or a picture)

2.Buy Crayons in your desired color, I bought a 64 pack because it was what they had at the grocery store. If I had thought about it I would have went with the neon,or pastels to be more vibrant. Don't buy cheap ones from the dollar store they are more oil so they won't melt as pretty.

3.I took the wrappers off of the crayons by soaking them in a bowl of water for a few minutes each. You can leave them on if you want that look.

4.I just used craft glue that's called Tacky Glue, and had no problems. You can use a hot glue gun or whatever you prefer to get the crayons to stick. Let them sit for an hour to be sure they don't slide down the canvas.I did it at night and just let it sit overnight and started in the morning.

5.Then take your hair dryer and set it to low speed high heat and melt those crayons. I did it slowly, to get the look above. I went back after and melted certain area's longer to get a more messy look.

6. Allow to dry-then frame if you wish

I will be putting mine up over my makeup area, it's different and fun and has all my favorite things. Let me know if you try it!
