This looks great my daughter has done one of these before as a project for school

You could also use tape to make the letter and once the crayons are dried, remove the tape

A lovely effect.

Great idea. Very creative

These melted crayon art works are brilliant. I love the visual effect. Mind you, this one says yes good quality crayons, others say the cheap ones. Now I’m confused which ones would be better

I remember seeing this all over Pinterest too and have wanted to try it. Glad to see it worked for someone not running a blog!

I. Like making this with kids sounds like fun

Something different but great for a present.

I have done this with hairdryer after watching vedio on facebook . It looks good

  I think I would use a hair dryer too

I did this with a hair dryer and the crayon splattered. Good idea to use a heat gun instead.

So colourful love it and we have heaps of crayons. will be saving this for the holidays.

Your monogram look’s very cool,thanks!

Treasured piece of art to keep

How artistic. It looks amazing and fun to make too. Thank you for showing us your project.

This is incredible. I would never have thought of this in a million years!

I think I miss out on so much by not using Pinterst. This is a lovely idea, and an easy one to do with school age kids.

This is a good simple project for those with school aged children or those expecting a new arrival

Material

42 Crayons of your colour choice (works best with good brand)
1 30 cm x 30 cm Painting Canvas (not the ones on the frame)
1 heat gun ( I used an embossing heat gun)
1 hot glue gun or clear craft glue
2 paints in your choice of colours (one main colour, one for the outline)
1 lead pencil
1 Frame (or hanging kit) optional
Method

Select your coloured crayons and arrange them in your chosen pattern on a flat surface.
Starting gluing down the crayons along the top edge, starting at one of the side edges, placing the tip of the crayon towards the bottom. It looks better if you have the labels all facing the same direction
Sketch out you monogram with pencil and paint with your main colour. Leave to dry completely
Place your canvas (with crayons attached) on an angle (I used and art easel), with paper underneath to protect the table top (or what ever you have it on).
Use the heat gun to start melting the tips of the crayons. This works best if the heat gun is held approximately 10-20cms away and at a 45 degree angle.
Once you are happy with it, leave it to harden.
Once everything is dry and hard, outline your monogram with the other colour paint. Leave to dry
Display in your choosen space.

so i wanted to add a little tip. we made this. i took a candle and smeared it on the letter so when we melted the crayons, the wax melted past the candle wax and my black monogram letter stands out without crayon colour leaking over it.

I do love all the different melted crayon artworks

A brilliant idea! Thanks for sharing!
