<\/p>\n
The process<\/h2>\nStep 1<\/h3>\n
Start by sketching your desired image on the canvas with a pencil. It will help you map out where each color should go. If you want, you can also trace an image from a coloring book or print one out from the internet. Once you have your sketch, begin tracing over it with hot glue.<\/p>\n
Whatever area you think will get messy, cover it up more on each side. Don’t forget to protect yourself too. Hot colored wax and nice clothes should not be part of this project.<\/p>\n
Step 2<\/h3>\n
After the glue has cooled and hardened, it’s time to add color. Begin by peeling the wrappers off of your crayons. Using a large canvas, you may want to break the crayons in half so they’ll fit better in your hand. Once they’re unwrapped, hold the crayon near the tip and start coloring in your design. The closer you hold the crayon to the tip, the thinner the line will be.<\/p>\n
You can also layer colors by coloring over an area with one color, then going back over it with another. It is a great way to add depth and interest to your art.<\/p>\n
Step 3<\/h3>\n
Once you’re happy with the way your design looks, it’s time to add the finishing touches. Take your heat gun and start moving it over the surface of the crayon wax. Hold it about 6 inches away from the surface. The heat will cause the wax to melt and run, giving your art a unique textured look.<\/p>\n
Experiment with different temperatures and hold times to see what effects you can create. You can also use the heat gun to blend colors or create new ones by melting two crayons of different colors side by side.<\/p>\n
Step 4<\/h3>\n
Continue heating the crayons until you’re happy with the results. You can also use various other tools to create exciting textures, such as a toothpick or even your finger.<\/p>\n
And that’s it! Your very own crayon art masterpiece is complete. So hang it up and enjoy the colorful results of your hard work.<\/p>\n
