Julia decided she wanted a rainbow art birthday party this year. To start our planning I introduced her to the world of pinterest. Needless to say, our crafty little artist was a big fan. She found all the ideas she wanted for food, cake, decorations, and art projects. She was most excited about making a melted crayon canvas to hang up above the party table.
Supplies: big box of crayons (take out the browns, blacks, whites, and grays), glue gun, rectangular canvas,hair dry or heat gun
Arrange the crayons in rainbow order or whatever color sequence you prefer. Once they are organized, apply hot glue to the canvas. Work in a small section at a time because the glue dries fast. In a well protected area or outside, hold or prop the canvas upright. Direct the heat source at the tips of the crayons and they will begin to melt. (Beware of splattering wax. It is hot and will stain.) Let dry.
It was a fun and easy project and we love the finished product! After her party she is donating her artwork to the oncology clinic because she said she wanted to give the kids something fun to look at.
