Guest blogger - Sadie and her crayon canvas

My daughter Sadie and I have been seeing crayon art projects around a lot lately.  Sadie finally decided to give it a try.  She used a blog post from Kindergarten Lifestyle to help her along in the process.  Here she is to blog about her creation: 


Hi! My name is Sadie I just love do art projects and artsy stuff! And also enjoy  scrapbooking with my mom!

I was inspired to make this when I was searching for art projects for my sister and I to do. That's when I found this project.


I thought this was the coolest project ever. I thought I would give it a try:)




First we found a canvas that we had laying around, I got some Elmer's school glue, I also had to pick out crayons that I wanted to use. I glued them to the canvas. 


I let those dry and lied some newspaper down. Under the newspaper I put a big book to lean the canvas on so the wax would drip down.

Once the glue dried I got out a hair dryer on high and hair dried the wax. This is what it looks like then it is done:




I let it dry on the newspaper overnight to make sure it was dry.  I want to put it in a frame.  Mom says maybe a regular frame without the glass will work. 


I hope you like my project as much as I do!:) Thanks for reading!!

  3. Very cute project. I've been wanting to try this and now knowing it's pretty easy I just might. Way to go Michele getting your girls into crafting - after all they are the next generation of crafters.

    Adorable photos and great ideas.

    PS Your daughter looks just like you. Very pretty.
