Melted Crayon Art

I was hanging out with my younger cousin for a weekend and was looking for a fun activity to keep us occupied. I had seen this melted crayon success (and fails) all over Pintrest and was looking for an excuse to try it. We decided to give it a go and it worked out great for us!

You will need:

  • a large box of crayon
  • canvas
  • glue gun
  • hairdryer



1. Protect your work surface
2. Remove any colors you do not want in your art (we pulled out all the blacks, grays and browns)
3. Remove all the wrappers off the crayons (this is time consuming but worth it, it stops the crayons from  escaping as they melt)
4. Hot glue the crayons to your canvas in what ever pattern you like,
5. With the hair dryer on low start melting while pointing DOWN, that should avoid any spray or splatter. Its important to take your time, its worth it!



Try making other shapes!
