I’m back for melted wax fun! (If you missed it, here’s my first melted crayon art.) For this piece, I turned things upside down a bit.
I basically made it the same way that I made the first one (see instructions here.) However, I used a smaller canvas size of 16 x 20 simply because I couldn’t scrounge up more green crayons than that.
I found the flowers at Hobby Lobby in the scrapbook section. I arranged them on the canvas to get a general idea of what the final product would look like. Then I went to work gluing the crayons and melting them with a hair dryer. Once all of the melting was finished, I flipped the canvas upside down allowing the crayons to become the “grass” and the melted drips the “stems.” Then I used the glue gun to glue on the flowers. Ta-da!
I love these! You have totally inspired me. I’m going to try this in the summer for a school age art program! Fantastic!!

What a great idea! I was considering doing this for a class, but hadn’t decided on an age group. Let me know how it goes if you do try it out 🙂
