DIY Crayon Art

This is the art that is hanging in our guest bathroom at mine and Boyfriend’s apartment. And yes – we made it… Out of crayons. (No joke!) I’ve been on a little bit of a DIY kick lately. Starting with making a little of my own jewelry (if you can make it, why buy it?), followed by making my own glitter shoes, and now this.

I first saw some version of this project on my Twitter friend Bethany’s blog Eclectic Musings. I pretty much followed her directions, other than the fact that I spray painted the canvas partially gold before melting the crayons. (You can see where we super glued the crayons to the canvas in the photo below.) Anyway, I hope this project gets your creative juices flowing! There’s nothing like a good ‘ol DIY to spice up a Wednesday evening, right?
