"Dream", "Inspire" & "Create" Melted Crayon Canvas Project

I know I sure did! Hopefully you have seen these before. If not that is okay, I hope you like this tutorial. These beautiful melted crayon works of art are literally all over the Internet. They are being sold on Etsy and some for ridiculous amounts of $$. (I forgot to take a photo of the hair dryer and the embossing gun!) The supplies you will need: you will need an art canvas, any size is fine, a hot glue gun & glue sticks, a hair dryer or heat gun/embossing gun, lots of crayons, newspaper, old wrapping paper or cardboard boxes, slick paint or acrylic paint, and masking tape. For each 11″x14″ canvas, I used crayons from 2 boxes of 64 crayons, 2 boxes of 48 and some extras from a box of 24. Step 1: The first thing I did was paint the words I had chosen on all 3 of my canvas' (this is optional).
