Yesterday we made history - we hit 119 degrees here in the desert.
I have always wanted to try this craft, so I decided yesterday was the perfect day for this craft with Julia.
I think Meg was the first person to show me this craft. {Click here}.
I was very creative and went with all blue.
You know - I like to be edgy and different. :)
Julia went with the traditional rainbow style. So pretty.
She would like you all to notice that she also ended with a red crayon :)
She is so creative - she also wanted to try this one.
How does she think of this?
One strip of hot glue at the top - and line up your crayons in any order you like.
I found the canvas at Michael's. (Our Michael's has a clearance section where you can purchase canvases that have a little damage - usually a bent corner or small pencil marks.)
Instead of a hair dryer - we just set it up in the sun.
This picture was taken after 40 minutes in 119 degree heat.
The heat even melted the hot glue.
Next time - we will be stopping at 20 minutes to see how it goes.
It was really fun for a first try! Next time - Nate wants to try it with us - but with black crayons:)
Stay cool this week everyone!
Hugs,
Kate
So fun!
