She Uses The Crayons On This Wooden Letter In A Way I NEVER EXPECTED!

OMBRE CRAYON INITIAL

Materials:

• Wooden letter
• ribbon
• hot glue
• X-Acto knife
• crayons
• cutting board

Directions:

Apply a dab of hot glue and put on your first crayon.  Decide which way you want the label facing and make sure you match them all up.

Most of the crayons will need to be cut to size.  Here is the advice they give over at craftcuts about that:

Almost all the other crayons needed to be cut to match the shape of the letter. Use the razor knife to cut them to length. I held the crayon over the letter, marked it with the knife and then transferred it to the cutting board to cut. I found slow, steady pressure worked best. Let the knife do the work.

When you are done hot gluing the crayons, also use the hot glue to affix a ribbon to the back and hang.  So COOL!
