A splash of colour!

This beautiful canvas was made by my thirteen year old aussie niece Madison.

All it takes is a blank canvas, 2 packs of crayons, glue gun and a hair dryer! Simple. Beautiful vibrant colours with a grown up twist, perfect for a playroom thats set in a front room or of course, the children's bedroom. I'm making one for Jacob's bedroom tomorrow.

Madison has written a step by step guide to perfecting your own gorgeous crayon canvas;

What you are going to need:
- Blank canvas
- Crayons
- Hot glue gun
- Hair dryer
- plastic tarp

Step 1
Sort out your crayons to the colour pattern that you want. ( I think it looks better if you do it in lightest to darkest. But it is up to you. )

Step 2
With the hot glue gun, glue the crayons onto the canvas, pointy side down. Leave till dry.

Step 3
Put the canvas on the plastic tarp. ( when you start to hair dry the crayons the melted crayon will spray everywhere. I did mine on a big plastic bag in the bath tub. ) Get your hairdryer and hold it facing down 1cm away from the point of the crayon. The crayons will start to spray down, and you just keep doing it until you are happy with the result.
