If you have Pinterest, you have seen this A LOT. It was one of the first things I found on the place, and my husband FLIPPED. OUT. You probably saw this in yesterday's post ;)

I bought a huge canvas easy enough, but do you have any idea how hard it is to find crayons in more than a pack of 12 around here?

So ridiculous!

eBay to the rescue! I bought a 64 pack for $9 including shipping. Ah yeh.

My lovely assistant Tim :)

Distracting Vince by posing with the Hot Glue Gun

 We laid the crayons out in a line, glueing them down with Liquid Nails. I didn't trust the hot glue wouldn't melt during the next stage, better safe than sorry!


We let it dry over night in the spare room, far away from little inquisitive Monster fingers {He has attempted ONCE to remove the crayons from the canvas}


The next day we attacked it with the hairdryer!


It took about 20 minutes? Tim and I took it in turns, although Tim's shifts were longer than mine! He really, REALLY enjoyed himself with this project! {As I mentioned earlier, the whole Pinterest thing has made him all excited about DIYing our home}


We hit the tips of the crayons to make them start running, then Tim discovered if you hit the middles and ends big chunks would suddenly glob out {that is totally a technical term I swear}.




I really love the texture!

This photo makes me hungry

 Because we are beautiful + unique snowflakes, Tim + I decided to flip the canvas so instead of the crayons looking like they were running down the canvas, it looks like they are exploding!
