Crayons on Sandpaper

Makes any simple drawing look 'artsy.' Saw HERE.

Supplies:

sandpaper

crayons

thick paper (different colors of cardstock cards work well)

iron

old rags or newspaper


Instructions:

    1. Color on sandpaper with crayons.

    2. Iron drawing onto thick paper.

    Tips:

    * This makes any artwork 'artsy.'

    * Fine sandpaper makes crayons melt more together. Courser sandpaper makes it look like dots of wax.

    * These make cute invites to your Art Show for your neighbors and other guests.
    * Iron can be on low setting. Wax melts around 150 degrees. The cotton setting is too hot and your paper/wax will start to smoke and smell.

    * Put newspaper under the paper you are ironing onto or have old rags handy to clean any messes up. The mess should be minimal.
