Look what we made!!!
My blog friend from Pink and Green Mama came up with this idea and I am so happy that she did. What a smart lady.
It's been way too long since this pretty lady and I have made something together.
So we made this stunning art for the babies room. It is the first thing we have for the new baby and I love it.
We tested it out first by hot gluing some older crayons to a piece of old poster board. Then we got out my heat gun and got crazy. This should work with a hair dryer too, but my heat gun melted these puppies pretty fast.
Then we pulled out our canvas and got crazy with the hot glue.
I liked it just like this.
But what fun would that be?
Se we got to melting. We did it outside because it drips off the bottoms and can splash around a little.
Here you go little baby.
Just for you.
It cost us $18 for canvas and 48 crayons and this took about an hour to make.

Hi Brooke- Did you use only the 48ct crayons or did you add more of the main colors? I'm trying to figure out how many crayons to use. Thanks!
