Looking for effective, cheap, fun wall art for a kids room or even your craft space? Look no further!!
I found THIS on Pinterest..
As done by the lovely Meg at Whatever
So I decided, it couldn't be all that difficult.... I bought a canvas, a glue gun (or superglue will do), and 2 packs of Crayola Wax Crayons.
Take out the blacks and browns and line them up like this.. then glue them to the canvas!
Enlist the help of a small child with a hairdryer. Blowdry the crayons and eventually they will start to melt. Beware, this is MESSY! Lay down plenty of newspaper first!
After 5 minutes or so, you will have this!
And then my camera battery ran out so I had to take a crappy finished picture on my phone - it does it NO justice - its GORGEOUS!!! (if I do say so myself)
All this for under a fiver. I like I like!
