Now you can hang your own canvas masterpiece with the use of crayons and a heat gun. Be creative and try making different shapes or abstract art with it!
Materials:
- Canvas
- Crayons
- Glue gun
- Heat gun (or hair dryer, but the melted crayons are more difficult to control using this)
- Old newspapers
Steps:
First of all, spread out the newspaper on your work area so that you won’t have to clean your furniture or floor after. Remember you are working with wax. It may even damage your furniture.
Now sort the crayons by colour. You might want to exclude the browns, black and grey. Line them up in a nice spectrum of colours. And when you are satisfied stick the crayons on top of your canvas using the glue gun.
Once all the crayons are attached, lean your canvas on some support, positioning it at about 30 degrees. Start blowing the a few number of crayons at a time with the heat gun. Hold the gun about 12 inches away from the crayons.
Now you have to be patient here, the crayons will take some time before it melts and runs. This might take you a little less than an hour to complete.
Once you are done with all the crayons, lay your canvas with the bottom edge hanging. “Clean” up the edge by scraping off excess wax, or use the heat gun again to melt some that have coagulated.
