Step 1 of 12

The board I used. You can have the board in any color. I used black. But white is probably best.

Step 2 of 12

The thickness of the board.

Step 3 of 12

I used a bookshelf that was falling apart I took the shelves out and used the boards.

Step 4 of 12

The bookshelf I took the boards from. Next is your color scheme; My color scheme was dark to light.

Step 5 of 12

Organize your crayons in the color scheme you want. Make sure the crayons fit across the board your using and that they are side by side if your measuring to see if it fits.

Step 6 of 12

Once you have your color scheme down and they fit all side by side on the board your using get your glue gun hot (plug it in) and make sure it's hot before you use it.

Step 7 of 12

Make sure the board your using is clear an clean. Glue down each crayon side by side across the board. You can leave the paper on the crayon on or off (I left my on).

Step 8 of 12

Make sure after you are done you lay out lots of newspaper around the area you are going to melt it on and under the board.

Step 9 of 12

Once you have them all glued down get your hot blow dryer and start blow drying them downwards . You can do in any direction you want. I went downwards and made it branch out like roots. LONG process.

Step 10 of 12

Once it's done it should look like this.

Step 11 of 12

Get your finishing spray and gloss the whole thing to make it shiny. Make sure to do this after a few hours of your crayon melting (to let it fully dry)

Step 12 of 12

Hope you had fun and LOVE your new crayon melting! Xoxo Theresa.

You're Done!
