begin gluing crayons with glue gun after sorting crayons. i did mine from left to right and glue them so the crayola logo was showing as seen. again glue very hot.

When all are glued it is time to use the heat gun and begin to melt the crayons. put heat gun on lowest setting so that its not blowing to hard. make sure you set the canvas kinda vertical so it will drip down.

go nice and slow and get the dripping that you would like you will find that you need to blow more down then straight at the crayons for more dripping affect.

Once you melt the crayons the way you like let canvas sit for about 2 minutes then is will be cool and ready to show everyone.
