About a week after seeing it so many times on the pin boards I went out and bought a large box of crayons and a science poster board at the dollar store.
Fast forward to 4 months later.
I still had the blank poster board and box of crayons!
...Really? [you may wonder]
yupppp....really.
So last week, I had some free time and decided TODAY IS THEE DAY!
Took out my glue gun and glued the crayons in random order {I kind of just threw them on the board - its going in the playroom anyway - mixing it up looked like it would turn out cool}
The Hubs ''J'' helped out a bit too. Funny though I told him we needed to do this in the garage because I read that it can get messy. J for some reason didn't believe me {how do you not know blow drying crayons wont get messy?!}
I insisted we do this in the garage and so we set out - blow dryer in hand - he held the board while I blow
dried.
Totally not my picture, I forgot to snap one during my blow dry :/ |
I do have to say it was so cool watching the colors drip and flow and do cool color mixtures.
Can I say something to J?
BOOOOOYAA - it was messy!
okay, not as messy as I had told him. I kind of blew it up and exaggerated a bit, BUT it wouldn't have gone well had we did this in the kitchen.
Turned out pretty cool I'd say :]
I ended up taking all the crayons off and cutting the board and now I am in search of a cool frame to put it in.
Maybe in 4 months Ill get around to making a frame?
I did see some cool crayon melts on black boards instead of white. May have to try this one and see...most likely in 4 more months! HA!
That looks awesome!!!
