DIY Rainbow Rain!
aka Crayon melting
So like the craft person I am i decided that I would make this SWEET sugar bottem rainbow crayon rain thing :) its SUPER easy and preetty fun so try it out!
Shtuffs you will need:
Glue! I used this glue, but you could use a hot glue gun, some craft glue, or if you are really fond of your crayons super glue. * be careful with that stuff. its super*
A Canvas, or something to glue, and melt crayons on. This is one i got from Bargin!Shop.. or i think the Red Apple now, for like $4. Not like a great great artist canvas but thats okeh.
Blow dryer! or heat gun or heat lamp , aka something warm that emits heat. This is just some random one i found. Warning, you might get crayon on it. ( PS heat lamps make a more straight line kind of art heads up)
Crayons! Duh! I used one of these and couple of doubles I would just get one of these and a 8 pack for my canvas (30 cm- 40 cm)
Black paint :D this is rather
optional but if u want to paint on a
dude with an unbrella your gonna
need this and a paintbrush or 2
Lets get Started!!
So i wanted to an umbrella dude so here he is! I suggest you sketch him out on some paper then transfer him on .. Really, I basiclly erased the end of my canvas.
Next I placed out my crayons how i wanted them positioned and then glued them on. You can use those little wood things to evenly space out the crayons. *you may want to wait in between glueing, expecially with liquid glue as the crayons will move.*
If you painted on a guy, or girl, or a guy and a girl kissing under an umbrella, you gotta make sure the crayon doesn't get them wet. Tape and a bit or cardboard work (i used the thing that was around my canvas). * make sure the paint is dry and or use magic tape/paint tape! you dont want your paint to peel off :( *
BLOW DRY TIME! This is where things get interesting :D I suggest that you dont blow directly on the tip of the crayon but more parallel but angled towards the crayon. It might take a biit of time to get started, and your arm might hurt after a bit. Take a break, we dont want your stuff setting on fire. ** When you have cardboard on your painting and you did a poopy job of taping it kind of, make sure you kind of hold it down while the wax melts down there.
