how to make a crayon melt poster

It may sound trivial but I've always wanted to make a crayon melt poster, and when I was clearing out my room a few days ago I came across my old art set - what d'ya know - full of crayons. I was suddenly in such a rush to make one and blog about it that I sort of completely eradicated the idea of reading some instructions first, sooo I've made this post up but hey, it worked reasonably alright all the same.

I also recently downloaded an app called Capture, where you can edit together videos for your Youtube channel. It is really really really good, and despite my crappy IPad photo quality I thought I'd make one for this tutorial thing. Unfortunately, you can't add a voice over to your Capture video, but you can get a load of royalty free music playing over the top if it so it's not all bad.

If you ignore how awful the whole piece-together of this video is, you can sort of get an idea of how I made my poster.

You will need:

- Crayons

- Card

- Glue gun (with glue)

- Hairdryer

That's it!

Step one:

Gather your assorted crayons.

Step two:

Peel your assorted crayons.

Step three:

Align your crayons around the border of the card.

Step four:

Glue the crayons piece by piece onto said card.

Step five:

Pick up your hairdryer and watch your crayon civilisation melt.

Step six:

Realise too late that the wax spits everywhere and is very hot when that happens, so hurridly place floor protection down, and move the IPad a bit further away, picking off spitlets of wax from the screen (oops).

Step seven:

And just as my Youtube Capture video states, you have your crayon melt poster! 

(I didn't photograph it as a whole before I uploaded Jayze onto my Toshiba, but you can see the finished product in my video.)

Taadaa! You now have a beautiful masterpiece (sigh) to show to your friends and family!
