CRAYON CRAFTS-MELTED CRAYONS DOT ART

The Best place to find some new things is pinterest. While pining some of melted crayons art, I was really inspired by them. I thought it would be perfect way to use those cheap brand crayons which are in my crayon box and it’s something I could do with my daughter. Look, what we came up with, love it.

 

 

What you need

* Crayons (I used my old crayons)

 

* A4 Papers (I have seen many of them had used canvas boards)

* Candle

* Pencil

* Black Marker 

Here‘s how you can make this colorful, easy craft

• First you need to sketch your picture using pencil on A4 paper and then draw with black marker                           

           

• Select crayons according to your picture
• Melt the tip of crayon (Make sure to remove crayon wrappers before you start) and drip on the picture.

                                            

• Heat and drip till the whole picture covered up with dots

 

 This is a fun activity for kids, but with adult supervision as the craft involves fire. Of course I was sitting with my daughter to make sure she stays safe.If you try this craft,pls send me a link,I love to see!

PISTACHIO SHELLS - ANIMAL CRAFTS

These crafts have been done with pistachio shells. I know, we all love to eat pistachios, collect the shells every time, when you eat and  clean, rinse and store till your leisure time comes. FUN TIMES!

My daughter wanted to make some crafts for her class magazine. So we decided to use these shells as it’s always fun to make the things our own. I suggested her to create something new other than the flowers. LOOK at what she made! She was determined to do these alone, though I was helping her. I am happy as she completed by herself. WELL DONE Shamee! 

 

What We Need:-

1. Colors (Water Colors, Sketch Pens, Crayons)

2. Color Papers

3. Pistachio Shells
