See! I'm Creative!

My lovely creation! (:
A friend of mine posted something like this on facebook after she found it on pinterest.  I thought it looked really cool. It's also extremely easy to do! And really cheap. I already had crayons, super glue, and a blow dryer at my house and the canvas only cost $3. (And surprisingly, it's not that messy at all.)

Just get a box of Crayola crayons (they melt easily) and pick out the color order you want. Mine didn't quite reach across the whole canvas... I had to use an old box of crayons and didn't have enough matching colors.

But after you pick out whatever colors you want and line them up in the right order, just super glue them to the top. Then get a blow dryer, set it to it's highest setting, and blow on the crayons until they melt. Make sure you have something to lean it against while you're melting the crayons, and something to put underneath it.

I thought it was cool how you can actually change the direction of the colors by blowing at different angles. Next time I do this though, I think I'm going to use less colors... or not let them melt for as long... because it looks too dark.

But I'm still happy with it(:

Try it!
