I already had a blank canvas that was covered in fabric, so I took the fabric off. It's pretty large, I do not recommend starting with such a big one the first time.
Taking the wrappers off of the crayons took a lot longer than I thought. I tried keeping similar colors together. Originally I was going to try and do some sort of wave pattern, but I didn't have enough blue. So here's what I came up with:

| Broken Crayons |

| Hoping it turns out ok....... |
Next I put parchment paper over the whole thing and melted the crayons. I just used my iron set on the highest dry setting. Some spots melted quickly and other I had to keep hold it on for awhile. I spread them out (with the iron) as they melted to fill in most of the white space. There were some parts I had to go back over again that were not melted enough.
And this is the final product:

| Crayon Art |
The lower corner is a little too grey, but it is growing on me. It's a little dark but I do love the color in the middle. Hopefully I can take down the mirror in the living room and hang it up.
