Steps To Your Very Own Crayon Masterpiece 

1. Gather supplies

crayons

painting surface (cardboard, wood, or just plain old trusty paper)

glue / puff paint (optional)

pencil sharpener

hairdryer

2. Break up the crayon anyway you would like. It’s fun to have all different shapes and sizes. Keep in mind- the bigger the pieces are the harder it is to melt them. Using a pencil sharpener is an easy way to do this quickly!

3. This step is optional! If you would like to control where your melty pieces go. You can build a little wall with glue or puff paint. 

4. Take your crayon pieces and go wild! Don’t be too controlling here once things melt they have a mind of there own.

5. Carefully move your artwork into a warm area. This glues down the little tiny pieces. 

6. HEAT IT UP! You can use a hairdryer for this part. OR- Depending on the materials you used you can pop it in the oven with a little help (for very short periods of time) monitor it closely.
