Crayon Rainbow

Tuesday, September 6, 2011



You might have seen these around on the Internet, I saw it first on Pinterest. We got our instructions for it from Pink and Green Mama, she's pretty crafty and great! Here's what we did!

You'll need:
  • 2-3 boxes of crayons
  • 1 large canvas
  • hot glue and glue gun
  • blow dryer


We lined up the crayons in a rainbow (ROY GBIV!) and then hot glued them to the canvas (oops that one's sideways!)

I figured taking it outside was best for clean up and messes.


This part takes the longest. Hold your blow dryer about 2-3 inches away and wait!


It's starting...

 Look at it go!!


Once it starts it really goes!


Ours is much more blended than some I've seen.



W holding the finished masterpiece!
SO much fun! They boys want to hang it in their room!

Mommy cleaned her infamous junk pile on the counter, it is now somewhat under control again!
