Crayon Art

I guess I am on a crayon kick right now, but with the back to school sales Wal-mart has the 24 packs for only 40 cents!! So tonight I tackled this craft  with my nephews. 

 It was super hot out to do a project involving a hot glue gun and a hair dryer, but we toughed it out. The boys didn't enjoy the prep work of unwrapping all those crayons, but they loved melting them! Now that I look at the picture I pinned I noticed they left the wrappers ON! That would have helped with the gluing.

At any rate it was a fun project and kept the boys busy for a couple hours.

Total cost was about $13 because the canvas are on sale 50% off this week at Micheal's.

Bird Feeder

This is my first pinterest I made real! I pinned this idea! 

I am always looking for crafty type ideas I can do with my nephews and after recently painting birdhouses I just new they would love these! 

The project only cost about $2.50 and I have enough supplies to make at least 3 more batches. 

The entire project only took 15 mins (plus drying time) 

The project didn't hold my 6 year old nephew's interest (not much does), but the 4 year old loved it!
