I love out of the ordinary projects, so this 12 inch wall hanging was alot of fun.
Materials needed:
3 boxes of Crayola 24 count crayons
1 twelve inch thick chipboard circular frame, I purchased mine at Hobby Lobby and it has predrilled holes for hanging on the back
black acrylic paint
hot glue gun
Paper Piecing patterns from
http://www.treasureboxdesigns.com/ :
Teddy Bear
Teddy Artist Outfit
Crayon and Scissors from School Days Collection
Instructions:
- Paint chipboard with black paint and allow to dry.
- Place crayons around the ring, spacing evenly. This gives you an idea of how many crayons you will need and their positioning.
- Hot glue each crayon, with "Crayola" wording evenly facing up. Continue around until all crayons are attached.
- Detail and assemble your paper piecings and attach to crayons, using scrapbooking glue. I use Tombo Mono Multipurpose Glue.
This is a fun and easy project to create and you can change the paper piecing theme to school, and give as teacher gifts.
