“Sunset Sky” Melted Crayon Art

20150111_113302This is my most recent melted crayon project.  To make the background I simply made shapes with a crayon while holding a hairdryer above it to make it melt.  After it dried I carved my text into the crayon surface.  I found it easiest to use a pen without ink because of the small tip. Also if you are doubtful of your skills (like me) you can print out a paper with the text, design, etc. and carve through the paper.  Just make sure that your paper doesn’t shift while you are working otherwise your stuff will end up crooked.  After I finish my carving this piece of art (I called it a piece of junk at that time)  was thrown to the side;  cast to the side in favor of jewelry making.  After about two months I took it out again, determined to finish it.  I tried painting the letters black, however the words then were not visible against the darker colors.  So, I painted it white and I am really happy with the way it turned out.

Here is a piece that I, Happy Creator, just finished. It was very exciting and easy to make, and turned out exactly the way I wanted it to! To make it, I just followed the steps of melting my crayon, and used multiple different colors for a cool rainbow look. Just remember to leave a good amount of space in the middle for writing anything!

Chevron tutorial!

Okay, everyone! Now I am going to tell you how to make the chevron melted crayon project! The things that you will need are: poster or canvas (size depends on how big you want to make the project), crayons, candle, and tape. You should be able to find these things at any local store, or maybe even your house. The tape is optional- it helps the dots stay in their rows, so if you are making this for a present or something you might want to stick tape in the middle of the rows to make it look nice and neat. Now, as soon as you have everything layed out and you are ready to start the actual melting, pick your crayon color that you want to start melting first. Peel the wrapper off. After that, light up your candle and make sure you are in an open area like your backyard, and there are no people around you. And don’t forget to have newspaper or something to cover the ground, if you are doing this project indoors! Lift the crayon above the candle, not touching it, but pretty close to the flame. Keep it there until you can see the wax about to drip. Quickly put your crayon over the area where you want it to drop. Know that you will sometimes need to heat up the crayon every time before letting it drip. Continue doing this with all your crayons, and let it dry before taking the tape off of the board. Trust me, you will feel SO proud and satisfied once it’s done! Please leave a comment about this project, how my tutorial helped you and how creative you think it is!!
