Step-by-step tutorial

  • Step 1

    Gather your materials.


  • Step 2

    Arrange the crayons at the top of the canvas with the pointy end facing down. Then, glue them in place.


  • Step 3

    Cover the surface you will be working on in newspaper. Then, turn the blow dryer on and bring it towards the canvas. Blow hot air down on the crayons.


  • Tip

    The crayons should begin to melt! If they don’t, raise the temperature of the blow dryer and bring it closer to the canvas.

  • Final result!

    When you’re satisfied with your creation, turn the blow dryer off and hang up your melt-tastic art!
