Melted Crayon!

   Have you ever heard of melted crayons? Well it is a fun, simple, and easy project to do!   Some people don't like using crayons for coloring but they don't have to just keep them on the side. You can make use of it that will attract everyone. All you need is a few materials:
  • A blank white canvas
  • A hot glue gun or a glue stick
  • A hair dryer
  • A lot of crayons
   For this project, make sure there is adult supervision. In addition, make sure you have newspapers spread out so you don't get anything dirty. Are you ready to start this project? Well, then lets take our crayons out. If you can't figure out how many crayons you want, lay them out side to side on the top of the canvas with the tips facing down. Take the number of crayons that fit. Make sure to take the crayons that are colorful. Don't try taking black or brown. Once you pick the crayons you want, you have to spread a thin line of glue with a hot glue gun or simply a glue stick on each crayon. Next, you can stick it on to the top of the canvas in a striaght line, side to side. Make sure the tip of the crayon is facing down.

   Once you have done that and made sure the crayons on the canvas are dry, take your blow dryer. Keep your canvas straight up on an easel or somehow make it stand up. Turn on your blow dryer on HIGH and start to blow dry your canvas. Since it is on HIGH, you will have to blow dry it for about 30 minutes but you can take breaks in between. Try to keep blow drying your canvas until it drips closer to the bottom of the canvas. Once almost the whole thing is filled, you are done! Have fun!
