How do you Make Melted Crayon Art?

Start by securing your crayons along the bottom of the canvas with a hot glue gun.
Once dry, hold canvas over the sink (crayons facing down.)
Hit crayons with the blow dryer, until they begin to melt and run down the canvas.
Continue until you reach your desired look. Mine took about 5 minutes.
Let the canvas dry.
Hot glue your scrapbooking flowers to the canvas, adding a button to the center of each.
Cut your ribbon the length of your crayons, and secure with hot glue in the middle of the crayons.
Glue a button at the end of the ribbon on both sides. I added a bow, made out of ribbon as well.
Secure to wall and enjoy!
