Melted Crayon Art Tutorial

/ Craft, DIY, Tutorial / 225 Comments

We’re taking a break from our regularly scheduled programming for a crafts tutorial today. If that’s not your thing, please skip this post and tune in again on Thursday for a delicious (and healthy) muffin recipe. I was hesitant to put up something that’s not food related, but I polled my Facebook fans and they strongly supported this post. If nothing else, enjoy some pretty rainbow photos…

You’ve seen it on Pinterest. They’re being sold on Etsy. These gorgeous melted crayon works of art have been all over the Internet. They’re not that hard to make and really fun, although they take a lot of time and can get boring (do it with a crafty friend if you can). I put together an easy step by step photo tutorial to help you make your own:

Supplies: you will need a canvas, hot glue gun, glue stick, a hair dryer, lots of crayons and newspaper. For a 16″x20″ canvas, I used 2 boxes of 64 crayons, plus some extras from a box of 24.

Of course, some colors get rejected, so you will end up with a box like this. I brought all the extras to my school, where I’m sure they’ll get used.

Step 1: Pick out the colors you want to use and line them up until you run out of space.

Step 2: Using a glue gun, make a line of glue across the crayons (if you want a certain part showing, like the label, be careful to put the glue on the opposite side). Quickly place onto canvas in a line, as shown below, with tips facing down.

This is how the canvas looked after 5 and 10 minutes.

Step 3: Line your floor with newspaper, place the canvas against the wall, and get your blow dryin’ on. I started out on high and warm settings on mine, and alternated with low at certain points. You have to experiment a little to see how your hair dryer works with melting the wax. It sometimes splatters a little, so be sure to cover the floor and surrounding wall, and turn to a lower setting if needed.

This is after 20 and 30 minutes.

I like to concentrate on one area at a time, working my way across the canvas. It takes 5-10 minutes on each area, with 4-5 areas across this 20″ canvas. Aim the heat right at the mid to bottom of the crayons (where the tips are). Once the wax starts melting, move the dryer around as needed to prevent splattering and get wax to go straight down.

This is after 50 and 60 minutes.

It took me about an hour to make it across the canvas, getting all the colors to melt sufficiently. Oddly, some colors melt much faster than others – any chemists out there know why? Yellow is particularly slow.

This is after an 70 and 80 minutes.

Step 4 (optional): After getting all the colors to melt, I went back over certain colors that I wanted to go further down the canvas. As you can see in the photo on the right, I aimed the heat at the middle of the canvas to melt some of the chunks of wax and get them to drip all the way to the bottom of the canvas.

And voila! You have a fun piece of art to hang on your wall. Of course you can try this with different color patterns instead of a rainbow.

Which colors would you use?

      I used an embossing tool to melt the crayons and it went fairly quick. Plus, the air is not as strong as a blow dryer.

      @Tricia – I’ve never made a flower one, but one that I saw used crayons in the color of stems and melted a few of those, then turned it upside down and glued on fake flowers to the ends of the wax drips.

      I clearly did something wrong! Crayons didn’t melt, except for the tips which flew off and the glue melted so the crayons eventually fell off the canvas. #sad

    Wow, this is an awesome idea! I’ve made melted crayon crayons! As in, melting crayons to make new crayons in different shapes and colors. But this is a neat idea, I might just try this for a gift to someone! I think some cool colors would be some yellows, reds, pinks, and oranges. Or yellows and grays 🙂

    I’ve never seen this before. I think it’s cool. Too bad I didn’t know earlier, when the temps here were close to 100. I could have just left the canvas outside and let the sun do the melting.

    I’d probably do a canvas in blues, greens and whites to match the sky, trees and clouds.

    Regarding the “How to Make Rainbow Crayon Art,” I am assuming that the crayon does not melt easily after being hung on walls – In looking at how long it took to melt the crayon? That would be my concern. But I LOVE this. And it’s easy to do.

      @Pamela – it took a little over an hour for the 16″x20″ shown in this post. It depends on how hot your hairdryer gets and how much you want them to melt.

    The yellow crayons have larger pigments than the other crayons, so they melt slower! Naples yellow has one of the largest pigments, imagine how slow it would have been

      @Monica – I left the paper on the crayons. It doesn’t interfere with the melting process and I like the way it looks with the paper on. I don’t know if the glitter or metallic crayons melt as well, but they would look really cool if they do!

    Hello. I seen this on Pinterest. Love it!!! Try melting crayons in a silicone mold for different crayon shapes. Great for little kids so they can hold onto them better. Also you can make your own colors by doing this. =)

    I can totally see this project being done for a baby’s room…esp pink for a girl…different shades. =) Love it! You can also re-wrap the crayons with your own labels…maybe with a child’s name or something printed off of the computer…or do the alphabet? This can be done in so many ways! =)

    THE TECHNICAL TERM IS ENCAUSTIC. THEREFORE, ONCE YOU GOOGLE ENCAUSTIC OR ENCAUSTICS YOU WILL NEVER LOOK BACK. GENERALLY ONE WOULD USE BEESWAX. I DIE MY BEESWAX WITH CRAYONS, OIL PAINTS, WATERCOLOURS, WHATEVER. THIS IS A VERY ADDICTIVE HOBBY. MANY REQUIRE A TORCH GUN, AS IN CREME BRULEE TORCH GUN, AND A HOT AIR GUN, TO GET THE SHOW ON THE ROAD. YOU DO NOT NEED TO BE AN ARTIST. AND THIS STUFF SELLS.

    Ok, so I did this with an ‘off’ brand (been sitting in basement, not getting used) and it DID NOT melt like the Crayola brand did. It was a watery-wax substance that melted off, not the actual color. Just a heads up so no one else makes the same mistake I did!

    very cool! I love the abstract-ness of this project, and BTW very nice step by step tutorial! Another fun way to use crayons is to put them in a mini-muffin tin and set them on an electric griddle. It keep them melted at a constant temp so you can “paint” with them. I save bit of crayons, think I’ll give this a try! Thanks for posting.

    If people don’t like the “splatter” effect using the blow dryer – I highly recommend doing this project on a sunny/hot summer day! Glue the crayons like so, then place the canvas tilted however you want outside and leave it out in the sun for a while – that way the wax drips in one direction! 🙂 Lovely tutorial!

    since i found this site-my granddaughters and i have made four of these:) the girls and their mom went home and make ” Christmas pictures” for their teachers:) they are going to make one for their dance teacher by putting a silouhette on the canvas and melt the crayons around it. then remove the piece when done! OH and i found these canvas’ at Wal Mart–a 3 pack of 16X20 for about $5.00. they also had bigger and smaller sizes–i wouldn’t recommend smaller though

    my crayons began to melt almost immediately but I guess that means my dryer gets really hot. it only took me about 15 minutes to complete the melting It was very funny to have my puppy watch me and when i was done i sat it flat to dry she walked across it causing a small puppy print in the middle of the wax very cute luckily the wax was not very hot just warm enough to squish a little at her paw print =]

    My 6 year old & I are doing this TODAY!! With record high temps (102) here in Colorado, we thought we would try it a few different ways! Leaving it outside to see what happens! We have another canvas that we are going to use a heat gun (the kind that is used to put shrink wrap on a box)(one of my many tools that I personally own for crafts, etc) I cant wait to see the results. It is going to look amazing on our wall of art. My hubby & his mom are artists (he with oil paint & she with chalk), however, I, CRAFT. So, our daughter gets it from the both of us! We have lots of birthday’s coming up, and we like to bring home made presents. This will be a wonderful gift for anyone of all ages. (I think I just crossed off everyone on my christmas list for this year with this amazing idea)!!! Thank you so much for posting it on pinterest (a crafters dream of finding new and creative ideas)

    Loved this project. I intend to hang it in my elementary art room. I used only the primary and secondary colors to emphasize the color wheel. I also did a free form one working with one color at a time, I held it in my hand and rotated the canvas for a more abstract design. Line work was very simple to achieve. Really interesting results and so much fun!

    I did this using 4 smaller canvases and then hung them in kind of a spiral pattern above my bed. Each canvas is a different color scheme. So cool!! Quick and easy…and the smaller canvases take much less time to melt. I got a two pack at Walmart for about $3 and bought two. I used two 64 packs of crayons (with some “unwanted” colors leftover)

    I am doing this for my daughter as a surprise for her dorm room. It will be in shades of blue (her favorite color) and I am going to use crayons we have from her 12 years of school. We have a HUGE tub of them and I thought it would be cool to use ones that she had actually colored with when she was younger. The canvas I have is pretty big, so I may have to supplement with some new ones. I am super excited to try this – thanks for the tutorial.

    Hi! I’m so amazed with your artwork. It’s such a great artwork! 😀 <3 I think I'd like to make one by myself. This tutorial is really helpful for my next artwork. Thank you so much:)
    I wanna ask you some questions to prevent some failures in proccess of making this melted crayon art. You mention that you use a hot glue gun for making this art work, i don't know exactly what's a hot glue gun because I barely find it on supermarket (it's quite hard to find it in my hometown, anyway). So, I wanna replace a hot glue gun with an ordinary glue stick. Is it work if I use an ordinary glue stick to adhere the crayons? If it's okay, Is it less-sticky and less permanent than a hot glue gun does?

      August 27, 2012 at 2:27 pm (12 years ago)

      @Carolyn – without being there, I’m not sure why you ended up with so much white space. My crayons have always melted straight down with less than an inch of white space. It might have something to do with the angle you held the dryer or the power of it. If it blows on the crayons too hard or hot, they tend to splatter more.

  94. Carolyn
    August 28, 2012 at 3:51 am (12 years ago)

    Ok, thanks. I’ll keep trying. What angle seems best? Or did you find you had to move around? I noticed once the first drip went down all the other drips followed the same path leaving spaces. Maybe my dryer is too hot.

    Everyone has seen the tired old science fair project, such as the volcano or the styrofoam solar system, which have been favorites of many parents for what feels like generations. These projects are relatively simple and easy from the parent’s point of view, but they are incredibly bad choices for the children involved. Why?These are the kind of projects that are so well-known that even the students know what is going to happen. And when that happens, the students are not learning anything, and their performance suffers during the presentation portion of science fairs because of it. Science fair judges have gotten bored with these types of projects, and that’s a big problem for students who endeavor to win prizes in their science fair. In the end, this kind of project is only really good for the parents, and surprisingly, these kinds of projects are not even particularly cheap!^

    Word of advise….try the embossing tool that stampers use. It like a hair blow dryer but it’s hotter & doesn’t blow as hard. I’ll give it a try to see how it works. Probably won’t take as long as well as not as messing if you want individual drips down the canvas.

    The embossing tool worked beautifully. You have more control on the drips to the crayons. And yes, doing it on canvas will protect it from cracking. I tried it on paper & used a punch to add a heart and I had to then reheat the heart to mend the cracks. I liked that each crayon dripped individually.

    3 additional tips I would like to submit per my experience:

    1. Before starting, paint the canvas the same color as the wall behind it. This gives the effect that the crayons were actually melted ON the wall (not to give kids any ideas!) but without the mess.

    2. Apply the glue directly to the CANVAS, then quickly stick the crayon on before it cools, not on the crayon itself. This saves a lot of time and avoids burns from the hot glue.

    3. When the wax has hardened, take a rag (or brush) and daub a glossy polyeurathane over the crayons–it gives them a very lusterous shine and brings out the pop of colors.

    Have fun!!!!!!!

    Darker colors tend to be better insulators (conduct heat better) because they absorb more of the things around them (such as light) than the lighter colors do. Remember, when you see something that’s red, for example, that object is absorbing every color except red, which it is reflecting to your eyes. The darker colors tend to be a combination of more colors, therefore reflecting off less light and coming off as dark. I assume it works the same way with heat. Try it. Get two full-size ice cubes and two sheets of construction paper (one black and one white) and set them outside in direct sunlight, one ice cube on each sheet. You’ll see that the ice cube on the black paper melts faster.

    I’m no chemist, but I think yellow melts slower because of the wax-pigment ratio. Since yellow is a light color, not as much pigment is needed, so the wax is harder. I’m guessing a highly saturated color like red, or a really dark color like purple, would melt more easily because of the high pigmentation.

    But this is just my guess–I could’ve completely wrong!

    You asked why some crayons melt slower than others and that would be due to the pigments in the crayons, different colors will take less time to melt than others, I have found that browns are probably the slowest though I also use a heat gun which heats them up a lot quicker

    it is also important to note that you shouldn’t take your crayon art piece out into freezing weather… cracks them up, I learned that the hard way

    I have seen this idea in many place before and even seen a classmate try it and it has worked! I am really tempted to try it as the end result looks very cool, but haven’t had the time and I’m worried it won’t turn out as nice as the ones I’ve seen. I especially like how you included materials and the steps you need in order to do this project. They were very simple and easy to understand. I like how you found a good use for the color choices that didn’t make the cut for your canvas. This way you aren’t wasting something you spent money on and they are getting well used. It sounds like covering the area in which you will be working is also a must as it sounds like the wax splatters a bit while melting it. Including your approximate times will help those people who have never done it before estimate the time it will take them. That is sometimes nice to have because it could seem like it will never melt after the first couple minutes. It is nice to know that hot glue worked for you because I know of a few people where it has not! Again, creative idea! I hope to try it very soon!

One such example is a DIY lip exfoliating scrub that has various recipes, but the most simple of them all is made up of a half tsp. of olive oil, 2 tbsp. of white sugar, and 1 tsp. of honey.
