Here are some that I was inspired by...
Supplies: you will need a canvas, a hot glue gun & glue stick, a hair dryer, lots of crayons and newspaper. For a 12"x12" canvas, I used one box of 64 crayons.
STEP ONE:
Pick out the colors you want to use and organize them by colors.
Now some colors will get rejected - Like I kept out all the browns, greys & black.
Start laying the crayons that you want to use across the board in whatever order you want, lining them up until you run out of space.
STEP TWO:
Using a glue gun, make a line of glue across the crayons (if you want a certain part showing, like the label, be careful to put the glue on the opposite side). Quickly place onto canvas in a line, as shown below, with tips facing down.
STEP THREE:
You can choose to prop your canvas up against the wall or hold it. I held mine at an angle. I used a blow dryer on Hot & High to start the process. Every few minutes I would stop to let it dry. I would alternate between Medium & Hot. You have to experiment with your dryer to see how fast it melts the wax.
It sometimes splatters so be sure to cover the floor and surrounding areas with newspaper.

Oddly, some of the colors melt slower than the others. You can go back and concentrate on certain areas if you like, to get the picture to look how you want it.
And that's it! You now have a colorful piece of art. There are several different ways to do this so it's impossible to make a duplicate.
