Painting with Crayons

Ok are you ready for another crayon project? I know you have crayons lying around in desperate need of a new assignment so let’s get it done!! Today’s project is “painting with melted crayons.” I love, love, love this method. Have you ever thought you could paint with crayons? Check it out.

What you need:

Crayons- High quality- like Crayola brand

Stove top or candle warmer

Paper towels

Painting Surface

Step 1- Peel and melt your crayons one color at a time wither on your stovetop or in a candle warmer.

Step 2- Get your surface ready whether it be canvas, paper or cardboard.

Step 3- When you have melted your crayons grab a paper towel and crumple it into a ball.

Step 4- Dip the paper towel ball into the melted wax- then make little swishes all around your page. Each time you dip get a new paper towel. You can probably do 2-3 quick swishes with wet wax before it starts to dry.

Step 5- Repeat these steps for each color you choose.

I love this look. I could not have created this with paint and a brush and I surely couldn’t have created it with crayons in their natural state! I love how it looks in the frame. In fact I might be having my kids create some in the future-possibly to add a little color to my bathroom. While your crayons are melted, try letting your kids make fingerprint art.

Go get creating this classy look with something you have lying around!
