This Week’s Theme: “Fireworks”
Step 1:
Drizzle “night colors” of paint on your canvas.
I use a sponge brush, but whatever brush you have is fine. I chose black and royal blue as my background colors.
Step 2:
Spread paint to create background.
Add more of whatever color you need. I added more blue.
Step 3:
Choose crayons for your fireworks. While the board is drying, peel the wrapper off of the crayons.
You’ll need glue for the next step. Liquid glue or a glue gun will work.
Step 4:
Break crayons into smaller pieces and glue them on your canvas in the shape of fireworks.
Be creative with your color, shape, and size choices.
Step 5:
Use a blow dryer to melt the crayons.
Wax can splatter. Be sure to put an old sheet or mat around the area that you are working. You can also hold the dryer at a further distance if there is too much splattering.
Step 6:
Add your own flare as well as your signature and date.
(I used paint the same color as my crayons to add dots around my fireworks.)
Be sure to add a title, your name, and the date to the bottom of your piece.
