Crayon Art

 

Just about everyone owns a box of crayons right? Hot gluing crayons to a poster board and blowing hot air on them with a blow drier creates an awesome look! Just face the blow drier towards the center of the poster board where you want the colors to drip.  The heating takes a few minutes so be patient.  The one below is a really pretty rainbow of an assortment of colors, but the order and amount of colors are completely up to you! Don't be afraid to get creative; check out the other image of a heart shape. There's a few more pictures just for you to check out before you try it out, good luck!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

How to Tissue Paper Flowers!

          Above is a simple tutorial on how to make tissue paper flowers.  All it takes is a few simple items to make a craft that completely changes the look of the room!  It is also very cost effective because all of these items can be found in any local Dollar Store.  Six to eight pieces of tissue paper will give a very full look to a medium sized flower.  A variety of sizes look great hung together too.  To make a small flower cut about a 5" x  5" square of tissue paper and use 4-7 pieces of tissue paper, but for a large flower use the full size tissue paper sheets and around 13-16 pieces of paper.  Just remember to lay out the tissue paper, cut to the correct size, fold accordion style, shape the edges, tie a wire and string, pull the pieces apart, and hang!  Many colors of tissue paper could be mixed and matched in the same flower or separate flowers for more colorful results.  Enjoy!
