Crayon heart art

This all started a few days ago when my daughter emailed me a link to this pin.  I told her I'd see what I could do.

When I painted her room years ago-I painted her a canvas with the colors of the room.  I took a photo of it cause it was going bye-bye.  It got repurposed.

 So I spray painted the old canvas white.  (The colors still showed through-but I didn't mind.)  Then I got out the old crayons-I knew those would come in handy some day! 

(I had everything here at the house for this project.  It was free and I didn't have to step into a store.  Now that's what I'm talkin' about!)

I traced a large heart cookie cutter onto the canvas.  Then I sorted through the crayons and picked out all the Crayolas.  ('They' say to use only Crayola brand because they melt better.)   Then I arranged the crayons in rainbowish order and got busy hot gluing them to the canvas.  I made sure that 'Crayola' was facing out, because that's what 'they' did.

Then I took the canvas and a hair dryer down to the basement, threw an old sheet on the freezer (work surface) and starting melting the crayons.  This part was kind of fun!  It's certainly not perfect, but I never claimed to be!

I cut a heart out of neon pink paper and just taped it in the center, because I thought it needed a little something. I'm not sure I really liked it there, so I took it out.

Hope Hope likes it-then maybe I'll get some more Mommy brownie points!

Have a great day, everybody!
