Oh man. It's 11:30 on Tuesday night and my 2 year old just came downstairs with her face covered in blood. Super. She had a double bloody nose and I have no idea why. So, I have a little girl next to me in bed right now asking what everything is and telling me that animals eat grass. This will be a short post.
Here is the 2nd "12 must-do's of 2012." The "inspiration" melted crayon canvas.
I started by gluing the crayons to the top of the canvas. I pushed everything against the wall so they were all even and glued them with the name of the color facing out.
I had my friend cut some vinyl for me and I stuck it on. The canvas is 16x20 and the letters are 2 1/2 inches high.
I started blow drying with a hot blow dryer (obviously) with the end facing down so the crayons melted downward instead of sideways.
I didn't want wax to run on the letters so I taped around "inspire."
Here it is in our little creative/reading nook (ie super weird nook that we don't know what to do with).
Linking up at the great Linky parties found at the bottom of the blog. They are where I find most of my inspiration! Check them out!

YAY! You did a great job! You are really getting a good start on your New Years Resolution! I plan to do this as well and have bought my canvas but I didn't buy one that big....I guess I need to research this.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cute!
ReplyDeleteAnd just a note about the nosebleed. I used to get them all the time. The biggest culprit was dry air. Is it dry in the house? The wee-est (I mean just the tiniest film on the end of your finger) bit of vaseline rubbed on the inside of each nostril may help her avoid nosebleeds. Often the nostrils dry out and those little blood vessels are right there ready to pour blood onto the pillowcase!
Wow, Kelli that is so awesome! I love it!
ReplyDeleteI love how that turned out!! Little details like taping off the letters are things that I always forget to do!
ReplyDeleteyours turned out super cute!!! i love the concept but havent seen any i'd actually put in my house until now :) so cute kelli!

Before I saw the steps I was sure the color was painted on below the crayons. What a creative idea!

Such a fun project. I have seen this done before but I like how you added the word but didn't allow the wax to encroach on the letters. Thanks for sharing at BeColorful
