There are many ways that you can do melted crayon art for Easter and other occasions. Here's just one spin on this really fun art.

Firstly what you will need.

Crayons in different colours

a sharpener

Hard Boiled Eggs

hairdryer

and something to catch the mess :)


How to Make It



1. Pick out your colours
2. Once your eggs are boiled quickly take them out and place in an empty egg carton or prop them up on bottle tops
3. There's a few ways to create your masterpiece. The heat of the boiled egg will melt the wax so you'll need to work fast but you can simply draw on the egg letting the heat melt the wax and create different patterns. Try the pencil sharpener and sharpen the crayon over the egg to create different textures and then use the hair dryer to melt it further and create a dazzling effect.
Let it dry for about an hour and Voila! Your own Melted Wax Egg Masterpiece.


Just to be sure we don't recommend eating your masterpiece.
