Autumn Crayon Art

Crayon Art

I have finally finished something I saw on Pintrest, these crayon art has been really pretty and I really wanted to test it out, but just never got to it. So I pushed through and got myself some supplies. I wanted to make a Autumn canvas since we are in Winter here in South Africa.

I got a large square canvas for R54, a couple of boxes of crayons for about R14 a box and some glue sticks for my glue gun which was R20 for about 10.

Some crayon packs

My trusty glue gun

Leave I decided on

Of course I had to atleast test if the crayons will actually melt, with my luck I would have bought the non melting type :)

testing

I then proceeded by glueing all the crayons onto my canvas, this was probably the only thing that really took some time. Since I had to decide how the colours would work best and had to fight with our puppy who wanted to play at that exact moment

All glued-up

I then traced the picture lightly onto the canvas and filled it with prestick. I used small pieces since I wasn't sure if the prestick would also melt. I then used my hairdryer on high heat and medium strenght blowing.

All melted with the little white prestick

 I then pulled off the prestick and used a permanent marker to colour in the picture

And the result is this beautiful autumn art
