Our first attempt at melting crayon

Elizabeth and I were reading blogs this morning when we saw Karen's. We were immediately interested in her melting art seen here. So Elizabeth and I gathered our crayons and canvas and decided to experiment ourselves! Ours didn't come out as well as Karen's but we sure had fun!

For her first attempt she chose an assortment of colors

It took awhile to get the colors to start flowing

We really liked the glitter colors. We may have to find more of those!

She took a 4 inch cardstock 'E' and got some of the crayon to melt over it. I don't think it turned out quite the way we were hoping but we'll figure out a better technique next time.

Our second attempt had colors a little more organized

We made a heart and melted purple and blue crayons over it and hot glued it on top. Elizabeth liked Karen's flowers so much that she took a flower we had saved from a broken headband and glued it on top. Tomorrow we will hang them on the wall and maybe make a few more. I have a feeling our wall art will be changing regularly.
