When I saw it on Pinterest, I knew it had to be done.
It started out with a long canvas, some hot glue, and crayons.
Next: the hairdryer.
Which took for-ev-er.
After 10 minutes this is all that I was working with:
One little drip.
So I took it to the next level.
Dryer to crayon contact, and got this:
Which worked out but was making the wax fly all over the canvas and not really pouring out like Pinterest showed me it would.
I gave up and decided to put it in the backyard for a few hours since it's still in the 90's [sometimes 100's] up in hurrr.
Way better.
Even better when I held it up and let it slide down the canvas.
The final product on my bedroom wall:
Verdict:
LOVE
Love it!! I also love that the direct contact from the hair dryer wouldn't melt the crayons, but this ridiculous California heat would.
