Masterpiece


So here it is ladies and gentlemen, my pièce de résistance. Now I'm not going to try and take credit for this genius idea, I got it from Pinterest (my favorite website). 
Now what I had to do was buy a big pack of crayons and a little pack of crayons. I took out all the browns, whites, blacks, silvers, and golds (you could keep them in if you want, but I wanted a vibrant canvas). I put the colors in order by putting pinks first and ending with purples. Well I should clarify that, I kind of did the rainbow backwards, I started with purples and ended with pinks. 
I then used a hot glue gun to individually glue each crayon in place. Then after that gluing was done, I started to melt the crayons. 
To melt the crayons I used a blow dryer. When I started to blow dry the crayons I thought it was going to take forever for them to start melting, but they started melting within 45 to 60 seconds. But just to warn you in case you decide to do this project, I spend about an hour blow drying them. It was worth it though. 
But now I'm in trouble, and here is why...
I'm not obsessed with looking for another arts and craft project to do. I've been searching on Pinterest for a simple but beautiful project but I'm not finding one yet, but don't you even worry I WILL find one soon. I'll update you all later on my plans for my next project. I first have to find one though.
