Equipment

  • Hair dryer

Ingredients

  • Faux pumpkins
  • Crayons assorted fall colors
  • Craft glue

Instructions

  • Pick out colors from the crayons. Peel paper off and break the crayons in half.
    Removing Crayon Paper
  • Run short lines of glue on top of the pumpkin, following the lines in the pumpkin.
    Gluing Crayons
  • Place crayon pieces on the glue lines, holding for a moment so they stay in place. Alternate colors for a better effect. Allow the glue plenty of time to dry.
    Allow Time to Dry
  • Put down some newspaper or find an area where crayon stains won’t be a problem. Using the hair dryer, blow hot air on the crayons until they melt. Start off further away from the crayons, and move in until they begin melting.
    Melting Crayons
  • Use the dryer to help guide the drips down the sides until you are satisfied with how they look. Let cool before touching.
