Melted Rainbow Crayon Pumpkin DIy

Make the ultimate rainbow pumpkin to decorate for Halloween using crayons and a hair dryer!  This is taking the melted crayon art canvas trend to the next level and onto a pumpkin.  The great thing about this pumpkin is it’s great for all ages to make and you can use your favorite crayon colors to create your design!

– Trash bags or tablecloth to catch any stray crayon melt

This glue holds FAST as it says in it’s name and is great for kids to use (unlike a glue gun that can burn them). I laid these out in a rainbow pattern.

Start melting the crayons.  I had to put the heat on high to get them to really melt. This is something for an adult to supervise if working with kids.  You can also use a heat gun for this project; I just used the hair dryer cause I know most people have that on hand and not a heat gun.

Let the crayons continue to melt all the way down the pumpkin.  Don’t melt them too much cause the colors will start to become muddy and blend together.
