I found this idea on Pinterest and loved it! I originally had planned for it to go in my room, but my mom suggested somewhere else. The day before I made it, she had painted the end of our hall upstairs with chalkboard paint and wanted something to go above it. So that's where it is.
It was really easy and fun, but it took some time.
All I did was tape crayons to the top of a foam board. Make sure that the top of the crayons are pointed down.
The picture I saw had Crayola crayons, but I just used some from the dollar store. They do the same thing!
Then I propped it up against a wall and used a hairdryer to melt the crayons.
When I started doing this I was aiming the hairdryer at the points of the crayons and it was splattering all over. I kind of liked where it was going, but I wanted it to melt straight down instead of wherever it wanted to.
So I figured out that to make it melt down on the board you have to point the hairdryer at the middle of the crayons.
It does take a while for the crayons to melt. Some melted faster than others and some didn't even melt at all!
But in the end I was happy with how it turned out! (Even if it wasn't exactly like Pinterest's example. But what Pinterest remake ever does?)
