How to Make a Crayon Canvas

Step 1 of 5

Start with your canvas, you can add a character wherever you please. Size of canvas doesn't matter.

Step 2 of 5

Lineup your desired crayons, make sure you superglue them and put pressure on the crayons so they dry before you start.

Step 3 of 5

This is from end to end, looks best when the crayons take up the whole width. NOTE: Before you blow dry make sure you're in cloths you don't care about! Colors scatter

Step 4 of 5

Aim the blowdryer at a downward angle and whatever color you want to drip put the dryer to the crayon. You can cover your picture using a piece of cardboard or you can just control the drip of crayons

Step 5 of 5

Finished product!!!

It's all good, SnapGuide is a growing community of DIYers, how were you to know? (Maxine, I'm not in any way trying to make you feel bad for pointing out a simple fact. 😊) Kayla, thanks for sharing! I just got the random idea to make this for my brother who is an amazing artist. 😃

No problem! Some colors can be stubborn but by holding the blow dryer there they should eventually melt.

Kayla M (author) 12 months ago

Awesome, after seeing this guide I tried it today. It turned out well, but some of the crayon colors refused to melt. Good fun and some art for my daughters wall. Thanks for posting.
