Yesterday we made history – we hit 119 degrees here in the desert.

I have always wanted to try this craft, so I decided yesterday was the perfect day for this craft with Julia.

I think Meg was the first person to show me this craft. {Click here}.

I was very creative and went with all blue.

You know – I like to be edgy and different.

Julia went with the traditional rainbow style. So pretty.

She would like you all to notice that she also ended with a red crayon

She is so creative – she also wanted to try this one.

How does she think of this?

One strip of hot glue at the top – and line up your crayons in any order you like.

I found the canvas at Michael’s. (Our Michael’s has a clearance section where you can purchase canvases that have a little damage – usually a bent corner or small pencil marks.)

Instead of a hair dryer – we just set it up in the sun.

This picture was taken after 40 minutes in 119 degree heat.

The heat even melted the hot glue.

Next time – we will be stopping at 20 minutes to see how it goes.

It was really fun for a first try! Next time – Nate wants to try it with us – but with black crayons:)

Stay cool this week everyone!

Hugs,

Kate
