Then this weekend my sister-in-law told me that my brother-in-law had done the project with their daughter using a heat gun. So this morning before heading out to work, my hubby dug his out of the garage for me. Success at last!
I bought a $2 canvas from Dollarama and had an unopened box of 64 crayons in my desk (approx. $5) that I used. It didn't even use half of the crayons, although I did have to pull a couple of extra yellows from a small box of crayons, as there weren't enough in the 64 box. Once I had the colours arranged to my liking, I glue-gunned them on and then used the heat gun to melt the wax. Easy Peasy!
Make sure to use a drop cloth or old sheet when melting the wax, as some will pool at the bottom of the canvas and splatter around the sides.
And where are you putting it???? So, when I want to make one, you'll let me borrow your heat gun? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is too funny that you did this because I was thinking about doing it myself. I like the one too with the different greens and the tissue paper flowers. So cool. One of my favourite craft items is my heat gun, use it regularly when doing stuff with the kids.
ReplyDeleteCool!!
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad you didn't give up on it!!! :) It looks great! Now hopefully you'll have the "courage" to try some more things. :)
ReplyDeleteI love the colours! I pinned this by the way. :)
